Saint-Étienne continues its rise in the League after its new victory against Grenoble (2-0), this Monday night. The Greens thus move into the first part of the Ligue 2 standings for the first time this season. They are now unbeaten for ten games.

AS Saint-Étienne has chained a third consecutive victory in Ligue 2 Monday in Grenoble (2-0), which allowed it to climb in the first part of the ranking for the first time of the season. Unbeaten for ten games (seven wins, three draws), the Greens continued their rise from the depths of the second division, due in part to a three-point penalty imposed even before the championship started, to ninth place.

The Saint-Etienne combine more points and style, as they scored two magnificent goals at the Stade des Alpes. First by the full-back Niels Nkounkou, author of a ride all in speed and finesse from the left side, with a dribble of the sole to pass between two defenders before deceiving the goalkeeper with a powerful strike of the left foot (46th).

Unmissable Krasso

Then by their offensive asset number 1: the inevitable Jean-Philippe Krasso, top scorer (sixteen) and passer (eight) of ASSE. After intercepting an ill-assured pass from Adrien-Mehdi Monfray, the 25-year-old Franco-Ivorian delicately pricked the ball thirty meters from the goal to lob Brice Maubleu (80th). Meanwhile, Gautier Larsonneur had managed to preserve the short advantage of his own by coming out of his cages very quickly to prevent the Grenoble winger Jordan Tell, part in depth, to equalize (55th).

After two victories against Amiens (2-1) and Laval (1-0), Grenoble suffered a blow. This defeat undoubtedly condemns the hopes of accession to the elite of GF38, team among the best ranked in Ligue 2 (seventh) to the guilty irregularity.
