The series returns to colours with a brilliant victory at the Chaudron
Last Sunday, in a match on the 31st day of Ligue 1, the St. Stephen’s League won a crucial victory. This double of Stassin and the performance of the field media, Ekwah and Tardieu, allowed the Greens to capsized the Chaudron and re-launched in the struggle for maintenance.
The game, the 126th Derby of history, was marked by a return to the sources for the ASSE, which evokes positive emotions, notably with reference to the 2013 League Cup. Under pressure from the situation, the players of Eirik Horneland dominated the OL, who even saw one of his players, Tolisso, being expelled after a severe fault.
The absence of Benjamin Bouchouari, hit on the back, did not hinder the team, which benefited from a trio of performance, notably thanks to the excellent performance of Aimen Moueffek and the complementarity of Ekwah and Tardieu. This victory, more than just a result, is a recognition of the work of Eirik Horneland and his players.
With three points behind Le Havre, a barrister, theASSE knows that each point is precious. The situation remains tense at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, but the victory at the Derby offers a renewed hope. The next matches, notably against Strasbourg, will be decisive for the Greens, who remain in the running for the game.
