Sow and Boudebouz serene, the rest of the middle imprecise

Tops

Boudebouz again with the baguette

Speaking in the pre-match conference about his repositioning lower in the midfield, the Algerian confirmed that this choice of Claude Puel was the right one. Posted on the launching pad for Stéphane’s offensives, sometimes even in the middle of the green defense, he guided the game throughout the game. Regularly finding passes to break lines whether on the ground or on game reversals, he was unfortunately not helped by his friends to make the difference.

Bouanga proposed

Chaining a second tenure in a row, the Gabonese was interesting in the calls he made during this meeting. Lowering his foot after returning from the locker room, he could have opened the scoring in the first period if his shot from a closed angle had not been countered (27th), just like his half-volley in pivot (43rd). Causing several faults in Brest, he especially brought depth to the game of the Greens, although it was rarely exploitable as the Bretons defended low.

Sow-leade

Accompanied by Moukoudi in the axis in the absence of Kolo, the young defender from Saint-Etienne was much more reassuring than his partner. Precise in his raises, he won the majority of his duels against strong opponents with Mounié and Le Douaron. Relying regularly on Boudebouz to ensure more complex transmissions, he did his job soberly.

The flops

Gourna, too light before being sanctioned

If it appears very complicated to reproach him on the penalty conceded by the Greens since he suffered two illegal charges from Agoumé causing his fall, the Stéphanois struggled in this match. Beyond this notorious fact of play, the midfielder did not know how to bring what a midfielder must do. Serving as a link between Boudebouz and the rest of the game, his approximations on his controls annihilated or slowed down a number of Stéphane offensives. His last outings in a sentry role had clearly been more convincing.

Camara uncertain

Disturbed at the start of the game by calls from Honorat behind his back, the Stéphanois side also narrowly missed out on short passes in the heart of the game. Recovering the right flank after a complicated match in midfield against Paris, he struggled to have a real offensive contribution while the Greens held the ball. Note all the same that he could have changed the situation if his head felt well had not been returned by the bar (89th).

Moueffek too messy

Installed on an experimental right side given that neither he nor Camara are training lane players, the Saint-Etienne midfielder has not really made talk about his qualities of crossing. Not really inspired in his ball-kicking choices, Moueffek was little in sight during the big hour of play he spent on the field, also losing most of his duels. The entry of Nordin also confirmed that there was better to face a Duverne in the hard defensively.
