THE GAME IS OVER!

The first half started very lively for both teams, there were arrivals from both sides but the balls crashed against the crossbar and the ball did not cross the goal line, however, the expulsion would change the rhythm of the match and Monaco would open the scoreboard but Saint Etienne would not take long to tie the game.
In the second half, the home side went all out on the attack and, thanks to Wissam Ben Yedder, they took the win at home to end the match with a 3-1 scoreline.

Referees

In the VAR, referees Clement Turpin and Claude Tenelle will be in charge of monitoring any questionable play inside the area or that merits a red card.
In need of three points
For their part, Saint Etienne are at the bottom of the overall table, being the penultimate team in the competition with 3 points. However, despite not occupying one of the places at the top or mid-table, they may cause a surprise at home because despite having lost last matchday, the factor of not wanting to be relegated from the maximum circuit could favor them and make them play their best soccer for this match and be able to take home three golden points.
The mission is to continue adding
The Red and Whites have been characterized for being a mid-table team in the French football tournament, they have a modest squad but enough to stay in the top circuit of the country. Currently, the team coached by Niko Kovac is in the thirteenth place with 5 points, however, it is of vital importance to start getting three points from three because the difference is not much with the teams that are at the bottom and a defeat in this matchday could put them to think about not being relegated.
