Sunday November 10, 2024, AS Saint-Étienne lost 1-0 in the derby against Olympique Lyonnais, a defeat which leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of Greens supporters. After a victory against Strasbourg, this fall in the Rhône marks a painful result for the Saint-Etienne team. Although ASSE gave everything on the pitch, solidarity and determination were not enough against a superior OL in the management of this meeting. Larsonneur was mocked this Tuesday by OL.
The match was marked by a performance from Gautier Larsonneur, the ASSE goalkeeper, who made several decisive saves and avoided a heavier score. On several occasions, the Saint-Etienne goalkeeper demonstrated all his class, repelling dangerous attempts from the Lyon attack. But at the end of the match, the climate took a more tense turn. During an exchange with Lyon supporters on the corner, Larsonneur did not hesitate to respond to provocations, a reaction which, in the heat of the moment, seemed to have disturbed his calm.
In the process, a technical error, rare for a goalkeeper of this level, almost cost Saint-Étienne dearly. While trying to restart cleanly from his foot, Larsonneur mishandled a pass and conceded a gag goal. Fortunately for him, the referee canceled this goal following a handball from Mikautadze, avoiding further humiliation for the player and his team.
But this error did not escape the Lyonnais, who quickly made fun of this situation. On their social networks, OL published a video mocking Larsonneur, highlighting the clumsiness of the Saint-Etienne goalkeeper. This trolling only added fuel to the fire of an already well-established rivalry between the two clubs. This defeat is a hard blow for ASSE, which will have to recover quickly to avoid seeing this fall affect the rest of its season. The Greens will be keen to raise the bar during the next meetings.
