Goal denied for Auxerre
Launched from deep, Sinayoko avoids a first tackle in the area, before returning to the axis and placing a left shot on which Larsonneur is beaten. But an offside is signaled.
Old still makes a difference
Old overtakes two Auxerrois on the right, and places a long cross captured by Leon who had quickly gone to bed. Sissoko was lurking around to cut the offering.
Reassuring Batubinsika
Danois recovers a good ball, and Traoré is served to the right of the area. But Batubinsika recovers it, and reassures his family.
Nadé sanctioned
Nadé takes a yellow, following a sole on an Auxerrois in the midfield.
The match resumes
It’s back to Saint-Etienne, and it’s Auxerre’s turn, trailing by the score of a goal.
Saint-Etienne dominates Auxerre
Great show offered by Saint-Etienne which logically leads to the score thanks to a goal from Davitashvili. Although they got off to a good start, the Auxerres seemed incapable of coping with the vivacity of the opposing wingers. Old and Moueffek almost made the break before the break.
Onaiwu au sol
Following contact with Batubinsika, Onaiwu remained on the ground for a few seconds in the middle. Nothing serious for the attacker who got up.
Additional time
There will be 2 minutes more in this first act.
Greens supporters pay Vincent Labrune
Saint-Etienne supporters deployed banners in the stands of Geoffroy-Guichard to light Vincent Labrune, re-elected as president of the LFP. “It’s the story of a guy, he comes to the head of the LFP after the Médiapro scandal, he empties the stadiums, he is under the thumb of the TVs, of Nasser (Al-Khelaïfi), he increases his salary and the charges of the LFP.”
Cafaro warms up
Note that Cafaro has been warming up for several minutes. To see if a change could take place at the break.
Saint-Etienne close to taking a break
What action for the Greens! Perfectly served, Old places a cross shot from the left deflected by Leon who quickly gets up. Moueffek follows, but a defender saves on his line. The break was close.
Shock between Osho and Moueffek
The following free kick is placed in the box by Davitashvili and returned by Osho who even earns a foul following his aerial duel with Moueffek.
Jaune pour Owusu
Owusu receives a yellow for bringing down Old who was hitting on the right.
Hoever’s miss
Hoever is served on the right, but is blocked by Pétrot. While attempting a cross, the full-back slips and sends the ball out of the goal. Nothing really succeeds in Auxerre.
Discreet Auxerre
Auxerre no longer really exists since the Greens opened the score. It must be said that faced with the liveliness of the premises, the promoted player is cautious behind.
Davitashvili at fault
Davitashvili thinks he has all the space on the left after taking the ball from Diomandé, but the number 22 is declared at fault. A sigh of relief for Auxerre.
Batubinsika’s helmet hit
Receiving a corner taken by Davitashvili, Batubinsika rises in the middle to place a header caught by Leon.
The very offensive Greens
Old hurts on his right flank, with a cross for Sissoko who chooses the delivery for Moueffek. The middle is narrowly beaten by an Auxerrois.
Sissoko does not secure his center
Isolated on the left, Sissoko is a little alone, but sees the arrival of Old and attempts a slightly missed cross, which is captured by Leon.
Larsonneur delivers
Sinayoko is perfectly launched into the area, and follows with a shot deflected by Larsonneur. The referee signals an offside position.
Sinayoko rate son tir
Sinayoko strikes to the left, and puts her right foot to place a crushed shot from 20 meters past Larsonneur’s frame. The striker was hoping for a corner.
Petrot in shape
A decisive passer, Pétrot made a solid start with some valuable defensive interventions. Auxerre has the ball, but is struggling to project itself.
Auxerre misses Jubal
Saint-Etienne is rewarded for its numerous offensives against a defense in difficulty without its captain Jubal.
DAVITASHVILI OUVRE LE SCORE
Saint-Etienne opens the score! After a combination with Petrot, Davitashvili accelerates to the left before getting back into the axis and placing a powerful right shot lodging in Leon’s top corner. 1-0!
Osho doesn’t give up
Launched in depth, Old escapes Osho and isolates himself on the left, before attempting a cross blocked by Osho who did not give up.
Amougou blocks Traoré
Excellent intervention from Amougou, managing to steal the ball from Traoré close to infiltrating the area.
Saint-Etienne wakes up
Saint-Etienne is doing better at the start of the match, and was entitled to two corners in a row, without worrying the Auxerrois. There has been rhythm since kick-off.
Jubal finally forfeits
Note that Jubal, announced as the starter, is ultimately not on the field due to discomfort, and it is Akpa who replaces him in defense.
Sissoko found
Receiving an opening, Sissoko controls his chest before following up with a right shot flying above the frame. The scorer was offside.
Old gourmand
It’s Saint-Etienne’s turn to play quickly, with a full-axis projection from Old. Despite the presence of Davitashvili, the winger decides to shoot, but is blocked by Diomandé.
Auxerre in the Green camp
Traoré wins a good free kick on the right at the expense of Pétrot. The Ivorian deposits in the area where Sissoko clears with a header. Auxerre remains in the Greens’ part of the field.
Auxerre quick game
Already an offensive from Auxerre with a fast game where Onaiwu is served on the right, and places a cross blocked by a defender. It’s returned to the near post.
The match begins!
Referee Mathieu Vernice whistles the kick-off for the opposition between promoted Saint-Etienne and Auxerre. The Greens are committed.
Kick-off imminent
The start of the match is imminent. Greens and Auxerrois take to the lawn of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.
Hamed Traoré increasingly decisive
Promising at Sassuolo but failing at Bournemouth and Naples, Hamed Traoré is starting to be effective at Auxerre with two goals in the last two matches. Excellent news for the promoted player who can count on an offensive element of great value in his maintenance objective.
Ibrahim Sissoko finally launched?
Goleador of the Greens last season, Ibrahim Sissoko finally found the net against Nantes. Two goals allowed his team to avoid another setback, and why not launch the season of the Malian so valuable in Ligue 2.
History of the last confrontation
Last March in Ligue 1, Saint-Etienne emerged victorious in their opposition against Auxerre (1-0) thanks to the achievement of Irvin Cardona, today at Espanyol Barcelona in Spain.
Auxerre slightly favorite?
After its prestigious victory against Nice, Auxerre quickly sank with four defeats in a row. But Christophe Pélissier’s men were able to defy the odds against Brest last weekend, offering their fans a great 3-0 success. Enough to allow Auxerre to move up to 12th place.
Saint-Etienne is (a little) reassured
In this match between promoted players, Saint-Etienne is clearly the team experiencing the most difficulties with a penultimate place in the standings, and only one victory acquired for 4 losses, including a slap received in Nice (8-0). Small clearing, the draw snatched from Nantes last weekend (2-2).
