Match summary
Strengthened by the presence of Boakye and Miladinovic, ASSE was keen to start this meeting well. Barely five minutes of play and Augustine Boakye immediately stands out on a long ball. He crosses to Nguessan who hits the crossbar of the Lyon goalkeeper! A quarter of an hour into the game, Agesilas moved up the field for almost 40 meters before crossing for Nguessan who was too short to adjust his recovery. This same Nguessan creates two situations with two centers but he appears clumsy.
All that’s missing is to convert for ASSE which shows great superiority over these first twenty minutes. The match rebalances and the match becomes more and more choppy. Just before half-time, Lyon had their first opportunity and Issiaka Toure made a superb save on his right. The two teams return to the locker rooms with this scoreless draw. ASSE is superior in the game but did not materialize that in terms of scoring.
The half starts again with yet another one-on-one for Nguessan who misses again. He will give way to Othman in the 50th. In the process, Makhloufi hits the post by taking a cross to the far post. Razik Nedder brings new blood with Cateland, Mayilla and Dieye entering. On one of Meyvin Agesilas’s numerous breakthroughs, the Stéphanois winger was mowed down in the area. Penalty. A penalty transformed by Jibril Othman into force. 1-0 for ASSE 10 minutes from time. Saint-Etienne victory which finally launches the season! Bravo to the young Greens!
Next match
ASSE will play the next match, the weekend of October 19 against Chassieu-Décines. The opportunity to find a former player trained at Etrat in the person of Jawad Bouderbane. Traveling to the Lyon suburbs, the match will take place in a particular context. A training match against an experienced team.
