Two columnists spoke in particular about this meeting: Walid Acherchour et Damien Perquis. For the first, it is an important match that ASSE won this weekend even if he believes that Montpellier deserved better: “Saint-Étienne's victory is important, although difficult because, in the match, I find that Montpellier is poorly paid. But it is a very important success at the bottom of the ranking. Saint-Étienne was put in difficulty, Montpellier would have deserved better.“
Damien Perquis highlights an asset that AS Saint-Étienne has and that other clubs fighting to stay in Ligue 1 do not necessarily have: its public. The former Saint-Etienne defender also talks about the great second half achieved by the Greens: “Saint-Étienne has, with its stadium and its supporters, something additional compared to the other candidates for retention. It's an important asset, but you still have to know how to take the public with you and at the start of the second half, they did it. In the first, if Montpellier had managed to open the scoring, notably through Arnaud Nordin, there would have been no photo. There must have been a speech at the break from Olivier Dall'Oglio, who is looking to get his players to conquer this stadium, and Bouchouari's goal rewarded this start. This extra soul is decisive in this type of six-point match. We definitely shouldn't have lost, but this victory is great for ASSE.”
