In a well-filled Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, the Stéphanois failed to win against Troyes on Friday March 18 (1-1). The fault of a rigorous Trojan team defensively and fast on the counter and too much technical waste. “You have to drive the ball with your feet and for some the ball burns your feet”reacted Pascal Dupraz after the meeting at the microphone of Canal +.
The Greens however largely had control of the ball (62% possession) but did not know how to be dangerous, with many errors in the penultimate gesture. Bruno Irles’ players had opted for a transitional game, endangering the Forézienne rearguard.
It was also the Trojans who opened the scoring through Lebo Mothiba (18th) on a nice collective movement. The Greens, too rough, pushed without really endangering the Aubois. They ended up getting a penalty after several contentious situations in the surface of Gauthier Gallon. Ryad Boudebouz was responsible for transforming it to make the Cauldron exult (67th).

A draw that does not suit anyone, according to the established expression. The Stéphanois, who have lost only once in the league in the last eight games, remain stuck in the position of play-offs. The Trojans, who remained on two victories, stall and struggle to move away from the red zone. Florian Tardieu’s teammates are only two points ahead of their evening opponents.
