L1: with a gem from Stassin, Saint-Étienne mates Reims for the first of its Norwegian coach

The famous psychological shock took place this Saturday at the Geoffroy Guichard stadium during the 16th day of L1. For his first on the Saint-Etienne bench, the Norwegian Eirik Horneland saw his team win (3-1) at the expense of Stade de Reims at the end of a successful match, the first in 2025. AS Saint- Étienne puts an end to 4 defeats in a row and leaves the 16th play-off place to move up to 14th place. This 5th success allows the Greens to perfectly launch their maintenance operation. Despite an excellent performance, the Stéphanois had to wait until the second act to get the better of Reims who were leading at the break against the run of play.

In 7 seven minutes, thanks to an opportunistic goal (1-1, 50th) then a personal exploit (2-1, 57th), striker Augustine Boakye allowed his team to regain the advantage. His attacking partner Lucas Stassin consolidated the victory for the Greens following a delicious 3rd goal. He brought down the Reims defender Kipré with a devastating inside hook before poking his ball magnificently above Diouf (3-1, 81st) with the outside of his foot.
