The important victory was achieved by the "Saint-Etienne" club, who crushed "Montpellier" at home with a score of 3-0. However, although the result suggests an easy victory, it was far from it.
Neither team managed to score a goal for more than two-thirds of the match time, but eventually Nolan Roux broke through the visitors' defense. Shortly after, he made a productive pass to Oussama Tanane, and Valentinas Eyssericas sealed the deal in the 85th minute.
With the three points won, "Saint-Etienne" continues to trail behind "Caen", who also defeated the absolute underdog "Troyes" 2-1 in their own field.
The "Lyon" team also defeated their opponents. Like Saint-Etienne, it took 83 minutes for them to score a goal. The author of it was nineteen-year-old Gaetan Perrin. At the end of the match, Alexandre Lacazette successfully converted a penalty kick from 11 meters, and Bruno Genesio's disciples reclaimed the third place taken from them by "Rennes" yesterday.
