Saint-Etienne 2-0 Angers
Goals: Sissoko (51st) and Pétrot (59e)
With 23 shots in the space of a single half, it is possible to say that the final match of the twelfth day of Ligue 2 was (at least) as interesting as the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
And in this spectacular game with ultimately few goals scored considering the number of chances, it was Saint-Etienne who came out the best by dominating Angers in the second period: thanks to a goal from Sissoko with a header on a corner from Cafaro shortly after the break then on the break signed by Pétrot solo on the hour mark (with two shot feints, in particular), the Greens indeed grabbed the three points. This victory allows the locals to overtake their opponent, third, and to stay two small units behind Laval.
However, the Sco had the situations to open the score: Abdelli saw Green push back his half-volley, Diony also observed the goalkeeper stop his shot and the attacker then witnessed Pétrot’s decisive return to prevent him from score. But on the other hand, ASSE did not steal its success either. Because in addition to his net shakes, Sainté also had several opportunities: Sissoko involuntarily saved the visitors by blocking with his back an attempt from his partner Cafaro, Bouchouari failed to find the target even though he was in a good position to deceive Fofana and Sissoko did the same by missing the target just before finding the flaw
In short, a nice meeting won by the strongest.
