After the frustrating draw against FC Nantes (1-1), AS Saint-Étienne (ASSE) challenged AJ Auxerre on behalf of the 19ᵉ League day. This crucial meeting was broadcast on Dazn this Friday January 24, 2025 at 8:45 p.m. at Father Deschamps stadium. Summary of the meeting.
This first half illustrates a confrontation between two game philosophies. ASSE, faithful to its identity based on possession and control of the game from Horneland, has trouble being dangerous in the face of a well-organized Auxerroise team defensively And formidable in counterattack. Auxerre, more pragmatic, manages to exploit the spaces left by the Stéphanois, evidenced by the opening of the score signed Hamed Traoré after a beautiful individual chain.
The Sinayoko post could have aggravated the situation for the Greens, but the latter show character by equalizing just before the break thanks to Stassin, an opportunist after a crawl on a free kick of Davitashvili. This equalization could restore the momentum to ASSE to approach the second period with more efficiency in the last gesture.
The match remains open, with two teams with different approaches but capable of switching the meeting. The suite promises to be intense!
-Force the decision in the second for ASSE
The first cartridge is Auxerroise in this second act. On a magnificent center of Mensah, Joly takes over. Larsonneur makes a magnificent rescue. The Stéphanoise reaction is initiated by Stassin which finds Boakye on the edge of the offside. The Ghaneen Dribble Léon and pulls but Mensah saves the ball on the line! The more the match advances, the more the imprecisions make many. Auxerre is created a last opportunity with Onaiwu who finds the gloves of Larsonneur. 1-1 is the final score! The Greens glean their second point from the season outside.
