After having excited the green people and even beyond for his first on the bench of AS Saint-Étienne against Stade de Reims (3-1), Eirik Horneland will have to step up against Paris Saint-Germain (Sunday, 8:45 p.m.).
Eirik Horneland hit hard. For his big first on the ASSE bench, his Greens marched on the Stade de Reims this Saturday at Geoffroy-Guichard (3-1) leaving a very promising impression for the rest of the season.
The next meeting scheduled for this Sunday in Paris will, however, be a different story, against PSG (8:45 p.m.). To do this, a happy omen may have arrived with the presence of Mathieu Vernice on the whistle for this closing match of the first leg of Ligue 1. This will be the third time that he will referee the Greens, for a first at the 'outside.
Vernice, fond memory at PSG…
At home, the man in black officiated during the draw of Laurent Batlles' protégés against Nîmes on August 6, 2022 (1-1) and last October 4 against AJ Auxerre. Marked by a hat-trick from Zuriko Davitashvili, this overall performance was undoubtedly the best match of the Greens' season under the leadership of Olivier Dall'Oglio.
Sunday will be a first at the Parc des Princes for Vernice, who has never refereed the PSG first team. On the other hand, he officiated once with his reserve team… with a certain Dylan Batubinsika in his ranks! Then aged 21, the current ASSE stopper was unable to prevent a correction when he lost at Trélissac (N2), on April 29, 2017 (0-3).
