The ASSE won a 4-0 victory over Rodez in Geoffroy-Guichard, offering a convincing show to his fans. This performance demonstrates an overall offensive and defensive efficiency, with goals set by Duffus, Jaber, Cardona and Davitashvili, the result of successful collective combinations. Coach Eirik Horneland is gradually implementing his game project, supported by a targeted mercato aimed at meeting the coach’s tactical requirements. The team demonstrates a greater collective understanding and determination, notably embodied in Mahmoud Jaber’s strong performance, which contributed to Duffus’ first goal.

Joshua Duffus scored in his first official match with ASSE. Very mobile and effective in attack, he opened the score at the 27th minute of a lucid and cold-blooded gesture. His constant efforts, with 3 target shots, 23 bullet touches, 2 key passes and 5 won duels, have created difficulties for the opposing defense. Replaced at half-time, he left a very positive impression, proving that he could quickly become a reliable option for Horneland. His energy and intelligence in travel were appreciated by the public.

This victory reinforces ASSE’s offensive options, including the presence of players such as Boakye, Cardona, Old, Duffus and Davitashvili, all of whom have already stood out. The ASSE does not seem to want to separate from Lucas Staasins, attacking Belgium still under contract, which offers a multitude of solutions to the coach. Duffus’s performance raises the question of Staasins’ possible divestiture, but the team seems well armed for the remainder of the season, with a luxury of choice in attack that allows Horneland to bring in players like Cardona, Old and Staasins.
