The Greens calm, Troyes loses its nerves in Épinal

A balanced start to the match between two teams who did not wish to collide. We had to wait until the twelfth minute of play to see Stéphane’s first strike of the game, from Stéphane Diarra. AS Saint-Étienne will open the scoring just before half-time, at the start of added time, by Maxence Rivera. As soon as he returns from the locker room, Gaëtan Charbonnier will open his counter this season and take a break. In the 72nd minute of play, the scorer will score his double and undoubtedly launch his season. The score will no longer move.

For its part, ESTAC will put its foot on the ball on the lawn of the Colombière stadium. However, the two teams will return to the locker room with a goalless draw. Upon returning from the locker room, Bryan Labissiere will allow Epinal to open the scoring. A few seconds later, Troyes will come back to the level thanks to Alexis Lefebvre. The match will then be stopped for a few minutes due to scuffles. Tanguy Zoukrou will be expelled following these little bickering. At the end of the match, Bryan Labissiere will score a double, allowing the National club to take the advantage. A definite advantage.
