Saint-Étienne returns to victory by beating Reims, for Horneland's first on the bench

The fact: the new face of the Greens

Surprising from the start of the match with possession of the ball (over 70% at the heart of the first period) much higher than usual and a regular intensity, the Greens showed great qualities to return to victory. While the players of new coach Eirik Horneland were quickly very high on the pitch, the Rémois were beaten in intensity and in pressing. Completely in control, the hosts of the game, despite a few absentees (Abdelhamid, Sissoko, Maçon, Old, Wadji), showed that they were capable of getting closer to the goal and worrying their opponent for 90 minutes. Victory feels good, but style feels even better.
