Lucas Stassin illuminates the derby against OL with a decisive double
The 126th derby between AS Saint-Étienne and Olympique Lyonnais kept all its promises thanks to Lucas Stassin, author of a decisive double and an exceptional performance. The Belgian striker thus confirms his role as offensive leader in the maintenance race.
The game of the Stéphanois attacker
In great shape since the beginning of 2025, Lucas Stassin once again carried the AS Saint-Étienne on his shoulders during the derby against Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday 20 April. In a boiling Geoffroy-Guichard, the Belgian pre-center was the man of the game thanks to its double and constant activity.
A complete scorer
By the 10th minute, the Greens opened the score with a header of Lucas Stassin on a millimetre center of Léo Pérot. This goal immediately put the players of AS Saint-Étienne in the best dispositions and inflamed the Chaudron.
Far from resting on its laurels, the AS Saint-Étienne dominated the first act thanks to the incessant activity of its Belgian attacker. Author of 12 goals this season without a single penalty, Lucas Stassin has once again proved that he was more than just a finisher: he knows how to create danger, press, play back to the goal and enhance each ball.
A masterclass in second period
When the locker room came back, Lucas Stassin made the powder talk again. On a high recovery at the 67th minute of play, the Belgian striker pierced the Lyon defence for 40 meters before concluding a precise wound shot. This European-scale action perfectly reflects the trust and current form of the Stéphanois striker.
Awesome statistics
Statistically, his performance is very good: 4 target shots, 17 successful passes out of 18 (94%), 4 key passes, 12.3 km travelled and 6 ground duels contested. But beyond the numbers, it was his presence in the dry cleaning and his role as anchor point that relieved and energized the AS Saint-Étienne team.
Ovated by the public
A masterclass praised by the public who ovated Lucas Stassin after his double. With the latter, he scored 11 goals in 2025 out of the 12 he scored this season. An impressive rise in power that coincides with the decisive phase of the championship.
The AS Saint-Étienne in the struggle for the maintenance
Four days from the end of the championship, AS Saint-Étienne is more than ever in the fight for the maintenance. The next matches against Strasbourg, Monaco, Reims and Toulouse will be crucial for the Greens’ salvation. If Lucas Stassin maintains his current level of performance, he may well be the providential man for AS Saint-Étienne.
More than just a scorer, he is now a leader that AS Saint-Étienne found in the person of Lucas Stassin.
