Ligue 1: Saint-Etienne Secure 2-0 Victory Over Strasbourg

Saint-Etienne secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Strasbourg at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Sunday, moving them further away from the relegation zone in Ligue 1.

The match was a tense affair, with both teams desperate for points. Saint-Etienne, however, emerged victorious thanks to goals from Wahbi Khazri and Ibrahima Niane. The victory was a much-needed boost for the Greens, who had struggled for consistency in recent weeks.

Khazri Opens the Scoring

The first half was a tight affair, with few clear-cut chances for either side. However, Saint-Etienne broke the deadlock in the 35th minute when Khazri finished off a well-worked move. The Tunisian midfielder received a pass from Benjamin Bourigeaud and slotted the ball past Matz Sels, the Strasbourg goalkeeper.

Niane Seals the Win

Saint-Etienne continued to press for a second goal in the second half, and they got their reward in the 74th minute. Niane, who had come on as a substitute, was on hand to tap in a rebound after Sels had saved a shot from Arnaud Nordin.

A Crucial Win for Saint-Etienne

The victory was crucial for Saint-Etienne, who had been struggling in recent weeks. The Greens are now 15th in the Ligue 1 table, five points clear of the relegation zone. They will be hoping to build on this win in their next match against Lorient.

Strasbourg, on the other hand, remain in a precarious position in the table. They are now 16th, just two points above the relegation zone. They will need to improve their performance quickly if they are to avoid a relegation battle.

The game was a physical encounter with plenty of tackles flying in, but the referee maintained control and kept things fair. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from this match, but for Saint-Etienne, this victory provides a much-needed boost in their fight for survival.
