The latter targeted the players, the management of the club but also the coach Claude Puel, already threatened by a banner hung on Thursday on the gates of the training center.

Despite everything, his future remains uncertain despite this point obtained and the heart put by his team to seek him while ASSE was led 2-0.

But this match could cost ASSE more than this draw point as Puel's side are still looking for a first victory this season.

The LFP had already sanctioned the Loire club on Wednesday with a suspended two-match suspension of the south stand of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium for incidents noted during the derby against Lyon (1-1), on October 3.

The League could also go further after these new incidents in a stadium of the French championship with a sanction of a total closed door for one or more matches or even a withdrawal of points.

Which, in the situation of the Greens, would be another bad blow in the race to maintain.

Because the kick-off was first postponed due to damage caused to the goal nets, patched up by the services of the Metropolis, owner of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, while several ultras had entered the lawn and had sent rockets and other smoke when players enter.

Stéphanois and Angevins finally returned to the locker room before returning to the lawn 45 minutes later for a new warm-up.

While the LFP seeks to sell the L1 abroad with in particular the project to play the Monaco-Lyon match in China, the images broadcast are not the best effect, once again.

The Greens are not giving up

While the Greens, deprived of several players, mastered the match, they conceded a goal scored with a header by Ismaël Traoré upon receiving a free kick played by Sofiane Boufal on which the Stéphane defense and the goalkeeper Stefan Bajic were passive (28).

This goal was followed by a second scored by Angelo Fulgini at the conclusion of a cons consecutive to a free kick in favor of ASSE (57th).

Two goals on the only two shots on target (on four attempts) of the Angevins, ultra realistic.

The Foréziens, who did not let go, reduced the mark on a free kick from Wahbi Khazri (61st) and snatched a deserved equalizer with this goal from Nadé who took over a cross from Saïdou Sow (90th + 3).

With this success, the SCO temporarily climbs to 4th place while the Greens return to three points from Bordeaux (17th and first non-relegation).

The uncertainty about the club's cession, at a standstill, and on the fate of Puel, like the attitude of the ultras groups, are not conducive to performance while Saint-Etienne is due to play soon in Metz and Troyes by receiving , meanwhile, Clermont, possibly behind closed doors.

Teams supposedly within the reach of the Stéphanois that they will have to beat to finally take off.

And whoever the coach is on the bench.
