Saint-Étienne Rayonne After the Derby Face in Lyon: A Precious Victory and a Reply Ferme à l’Incident

The AS Saint-Étienne’s victory over Olympique Lyonnais (2-1) in the derby, although marked by an unfortunate incident, was enthusiastically greeted by the club and Team Type on Day 30 of Ligue 1. Three Stéphanois players – Lucas Stassin, Mickaël Nadé and Lucas Ekwah – as well as their coach Eirik Horneland, were rewarded with this recognition, highlighting the return of the Greens.

Stassin, Nadé and Ekwah: Pilots of Victory

Lucas Stassin, author of an express double (10’, 67’), was elected player of the game and confirmed his status as a revelation of the return phase. Mickaël Nadé was able to contain the Lyon offensives with authority, while Lucas Ekwah radiated in the middle of the field, bringing balance and efficiency to the Stéphanese interplay.

Eirik Horneland: A Mobilizer Coach

Eirik Horneland, the newly appointed head of ASSE, has been able to turn a team into a combative and coherent group. His tactical reading of the derby, his strong choices and his mobilising speech allowed the team to bring down a Lyon in full shape.

A Derby Intense and a Rapid Response to the Incident

The meeting was marked by a regrettable incident: a projectile touched the assistant arbitrator, Mr. Rahmouni, resulting in a break of more than 40 minutes. AS Saint-Étienne responded quickly, putting in place all the means necessary to establish the facts. Through collaboration with the authorities and the use of video surveillance devices, the alleged perpetrator was identified and arrested. The club will file a complaint this Monday.

A Claire Declaration: “Violence has no place in Geoffroy-Guichard”

In an official communiqué, ASSE affirms its willingness to act with firmness and responsibility. The club emphasizes its commitment to combating all forms of violence and promises severe internal sanctions. “Violence has no place in Geoffroy-Guichard,” the club said, sending a clear message to its supporters.

The Greens return to the race and cross their fingers

With this victory, the Greens returned to Le Havre (27 pts) and were only 3 lengths from Angers and Nantes. The dynamics are positive, the group is welded, and individualities rise in power. LASSE has regained its identity: combative, solidarity, determined. If this rise in the regime is confirmed, the Greens can not only aim at the dam, but believe in direct maintenance.
