Spectacular Saint-Étienne draw – Brest: Cardona saves a point

After two initial defeats against Paris and Lens, the St. Stephen’s League hosted Stade Brestois in an unpredictable scenario game captured by the ASSE communications service through an exclusive video. This meeting, rich in twists and marked by palpable intensity, saw the two teams diverge on a score of 3-3, illustrating an alternation of dominant phases and costly errors on both sides. The Stade Brestois, thanks to a formidable efficiency on the fixed phases, initially won thanks to goals of Ajorque and Sima, while the ASSE, despite the rapid reactions of Stassin and Cardona, struggled to contain the opposing offensive momentum, granting a score of 3-2 at half-time.

The second period, fought in a beating rain, saw the Greens return to the field with a strong will and a stronger defence, seeking to reverse the trend. Despite a technical mastery on the part of Stade Brestois, Saint-Étienne was able to hold on and benefited from the inspiration of Cardona, who, by a subtle lob, scored a double and equalized to 3-3. Additional goal opportunities, notably via Baldé and Davitashvili, animated the end of the game, testifying to the determination of both teams to wrestle the victory, even though palpable tension, illustrated by several warnings, rhythmized the end of the match.

Finally, this draw offered an electric and thrilling show, highlighting both players’ offensive fulgurances and persistent defensive flaws. While the Stade Brestois has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in the off-the-shelf phases, the AS Saint-Étienne was able to rely on Cardona’s determined performance to save a valuable point in a meeting that is one of the most memorable moments of the season, immortalized by the exclusive images of the communication service and Bernauer’s role as translator.
