Without mastery of the game, ASSE has Strasbourg

AS Saint-Étienne won two goals to zero against Racing Club de Strasbourg yesterday at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. A rather logical success considering the content of the match, despite statistics largely in favor of the visitors.

The men ofOlivier Dall'Oglio clearly did not have control of the game. The Alsatians leave Saint-Étienne with 65% ball possession, double the number of completed and successful passes. A domination which also translates into ground duels with 64% of duels won compared to only 36% for the Greens. Finally, we also note technical mastery with much more accuracy in dribbling (67% compared to 33%).

For its part, AS Saint-Étienne dominated the air sector (57% of duels won). The Stéphanois were sharper offensively and that was what made the difference with 13 shots attempted against 9 for the visitors. Only three shots on target, two of which ended up in the back of the net. It is then in a defensive register that Saint-Étienne stands out with more recoveries, interceptions and clearances than the opponent.
