The ASSE played a tough match against Grenoble on Day 4 of Ligue 2, with a 1-1 draw at the Geofroy Guichard Stadium. After two encouraging victories, the Greens, the league leaders, hoped to continue their series and consolidate their position. Despite a promising first half, marked by a goal by Mickaël Nadé in the 34th minute, the Stéphanois team failed to maintain its advantage in the second half. Forced tactical changes and missed opportunities eventually led to an equalization goal of Diaby at the 76th minute, leaving a bitter taste for players and fans.

The editorial staff of People-Green drew up a contrasting assessment of this meeting. Among the positive performances, the Stéphanois defender aligned on the left flank was particularly praised for his strength and his presence in the duels. In particular, he scored his first goal of the season by standing in the opposing surface. However, the recruit midfielder unfortunately had to leave the field before the break due to an injury, a new concern for the team. Coach Eirik Horneland was forced to make changes in the second period, but the changes did not help.

This draw represents a missed opportunity for ASSE to lead the championship alone. Although the point taken may be considered positive, the lack of success in the second period leaves a sense of regret. The team will have to work on its ability to maintain its level of play throughout the game and realize its opportunities. The next meeting for the Greens is scheduled for Saturday 13 September in Clermont. Quentin Verchère stresses the importance of learning from this meeting to advance and achieve the goals set for the season.
