Tough weekend for Olivier Dall'Oglio's men. ASSE had the ambition to continue, but the Greens have instead conceded five goals against a silent Stade Rennais since the end of October. Despite the negative series in Ligue 1, the Saint-Etienne supporters were still in the game.
New humiliation in Ligue 1
Four. Four matches during which ASSE conceded more than three goals. Brest initially (4-0), Nice obviously (8-0), then Angers (4-2) and finally Rennes (5-0). The learning curve is tough for Olivier Dall'Oglio's men.
Olivier Dall'Oglio after the match: “We lacked character because we are far from our bases. It’s true that we are much more comfortable at home, that’s an observation. But we will have to force things. We cannot accept certain attitudes just because we are playing away.“With 25 away goals conceded, ASSE has the worst total in the European Top 5.
However, the Stéphanois started the meeting perfectly. Mathieu Cafaro found the post, before making a superb save (38') which resulted in a red card and a penalty. At 10 against 11, Rennes crucifies the Stéphanois 5 times. The Bretons had not won by five goals since May 21, 2023 (Ajaccio, 5-0).
The supporters always present
Initially limited to 500, the Stéphanois parking finally gave way to 200 more Loire residents. Despite entering the stadium at half-time following extensive checks by the authorities, ASSE supporters set Roazhon Park on fire.
More than 400 km from Saint-Étienne, the Saint-Etienne fervor has once again maintained its reputation, despite the 5-0. There are 700 on average during each Green trip (not counting Groupama Stadium).
