Survive a thriller match and return to Ligue 1 the big Saint Etienne! The previous champion of France, managed to turn the tie with Metz into a “grand quinnillo”, however, through extra time, she “sealed” her return to the top division after a year’s absence!
“Stefanois” saw Laszlo Boloni’s team draw the second play-off match (2-1) and send the final to overtime, where his adventurous goal Wanji in 117′ gave them the promotion! Approbations for Bologna and Dreossi from the fans of Metz, who are relegated to Ligue 2.
The match started in a nightmare way for the hosts as they were left with ten players, with Diallo in the 6th minute facing the red card. Nevertheless at 17′ Kamara managed to give the lead to the Mets, with Mikautze to make it 2-0 with a well-timed penalty kick at 25!
But ten minutes later Saint-Etienne got a score in extra time with Petro reducing to 2-1 at 35′. In fact, the “greens” almost got promoted in the second half, but his goal Mason in 64′ canceled through VAR for a foul at the beginning of the phase with the match going to an extra half hour!
There, the goal at 117′ from Waji was enough to set up the final 2-2 and the… first tier map for next season!
