Saint-Étienne wins the derby against Lyon and faces Strasbourg

Saint-Étienne won an important victory in the Chaudron against Olympique Lyonnais during the derby, allowing him to stay in the race for Ligue 1 maintenance. The Greens must now seek a favorable result in their next match in Strasbourg. Let’s go back to the last trip of the Stéphanois to the Meinau.

The game starts at a rather calm pace, but it changes at the 26th minute when Maxime Le Marchand picks up a corner of Guilbert and scores the lead to open the score. Saint-Étienne then tried to react without being really dangerous. Strasbourg quickly added a second goal thanks to an error by Zaydou Youssouf who scored against his camp on a center of Liénard.

Timothy Kolodziejczak struck Étienne Green, who was forced out wounded. Zaydou Youssouf then entered a difficult situation by committing a naughty tab on Ajorque and being expelled at the 34th minute. Saint-Étienne played ten throughout the second period.

Just before half-time, Nordin obtained a penalty that Wahbi Khazri transformed to allow the Greens to return to 2-1. Strasbourg starts strong in
