ST Etienne this season was relegated after staying in ligue 1 for more than 17 years, so far we know ST Etienne as a club that is quite elite and has many achievements in ligue 1 and it is not uncommon for ST Etienne to be able to end the season in the European zone with no star players, but this season, bad luck has overshadowed them because they have only been able to win 7 games out of 38 matches, so minus the points they get them to be elegated through play-offs, while Auxere seems to have had quite a lucky this season, with their hard work they succeeded securing a one position to be in ligue 1 next season, despite facing a stronger team, but auxere were indeed much better in that match and they deserved to be in the one place in the french league, but frankly i'm a little doubtful if auxere will be able to stay in league 1 for several seasons.
Existing more than 17 years is not easy and I think best performance with St. Etienne how come he can stay on Ligue although have over in this season, but bad performance in this season from 38 games played only get 32 points i think very poor performance from St. Etienne. Just getting 7 time winning, 11 match draw and 20 match have loss make St. Etienne have to face with play off round against Auxerre. Right now after relegation they have prepare for next season and soon as possible back to Ligue 1 again with more stronger than this season.

I am saddened by the relegation of St Etienne's club. What happened at the end of the match was a disaster. The fans battered the team players, it's unbelievable. Security is very weak. Bringing too many flares into the match shows the vulnerability. Angry fans at the end of the match almost burned the ground. Auxerre remained in the league as a result of penalties. It's a welcome development for them. I think they will fight better in Ligue 1 next season.
this is a disaster for Saint Etienne, the fans should have been a little wiser in dealing with this, I'm sure the players also don't want this to happen but in a match there must be someone who has to lose. The way fans express their disappointment is very wrong. I hope Saint Etienne can compete in the second tier next season.

Saint-Etienne, a club full of history and the most successful of the French League, the same fate as Genoa, had to suffer relegation from the premier league. The relegation of Saint-Etienne is certainly a dark record. Moreover, Saint-Etienne was the most successful club, before the oil money flowed to PSG. 
hopefully they will fight better in the second league next season so they can play again in the 1st league.
Saint-Etienne's performance in the last three seasons has been very poor. Saint-Etienne was the 17th team in the table for the 2019-20 season. And Saint-Etienne's performance this season was very poor. Despite consistently poor performances, Saint-Etienne's management has not taken the appropriate steps to strengthen their squad. As a result, they have lost qualifying for Ligue 1 this season. If Saint-Etienne's management has not yet tried to stabilize the team, we will not see Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 for the next few seasons.

St Etienne's players really impressed me with their outstanding performance but but were denied goal by the opposition team. They recorded enough shots but the game was led to penalties which the Auxerre took advantage of this opportunity and won the game. It's a bad news for St Etienne and they are relegated from the France Ligue 1. It's just a slide win that got them relegated and I think they won't go for a long time. Because they are on the team that needs to feature in the Ligue 1, although angry and violent fans exhibits their recalcitrant behavior at the end of the game.And Auxerre is ready for it so that they forced St. Etienne to play is more difficult and makes them exhausted in 120 minutes of the match.

Next season we will no longer see et etienne in the highest caste of the paris league, the defeat against auxere is quite painful because indeed the quality of the players possessed by St etienne is still better than auxere, but the mentality possessed by the auxere players to penetrate ligue 1 is extraordinary , and even in the first leg they were able to hold st etienne to a draw even though the game was entering the last minute, although st etienne were able to control the ball and create many chances, but after auxere managed to score 1 goal and tried to defend, it was very difficult for st etienne to broke through the auxere defense thus forcing the match to be decided by a penalty.
Saint Etienne's performance this season was very poor. They have lost 20 matches. The Auxerre team is really better than the Etienne. Maybe the Auxerre team doesn't have quality players like Etienne. But the bonding between their players is very nice. And their overall gameplay is much better and more stable than Etienne's. The Auxerre team has qualified to play in Ligue 1. Now if they make their team a little stronger, invest some money and form a squad with experienced players. Then Auxerre team will be able to strengthen their position in League 1.

St Etienne fans really not happy because have loss opportunity keep stay on Ligue 1 after defeating from Auxerre trough penalty kick, actually losing from Auxerre when playing home are really bad thing and give chance for Ligue 2 team promoting this season. I think bad with St Etienne because can't consistent in this season and have begin on play off round. Actually have chance with draw first leg and play second leg at home, but again waste second chance how to keep stay on Ligue 1 after losing by penalty kick.

To be honest, I wasn't waiting for St Etienne to be eliminated and relegate to the second league today. Auxerre played big in this round to guarantee their place in the Ligue 1. They got earlier in the second half but St Etienne answered in the last fifteen minutes. After having no goal in extra time, we had an exciting penalty shoot-outs section. St Etienne had a very bad start already by missing the first one. They still scored the remaining but couldn't prevent Auxerre from scoring all of the five. I really appreciate Auxerre in this and good luck to them here.
It is actually sad to see them lose like this. I mean they obviously did not do well in the league this season but I thought they were going to win the match, cause it was the deciding match to stay in the league.
Yes, I also agree that the start of the penalty shootout was bad for them. I always think when it goes to the penalty shootout it becomes a luck factor for both teams. And starting the shootout by missing the first one is obviously not ideal and they paid the price for it. Congratulations to Auxerre, I hope they will be able to prove why they are promoted.

Auxere team managed to beat saint etienne team after penalties and they took their spot on the ligue 1, it was a really fun and competitive one saint etienne team was better especially in the first half they should've scored and make it easier but they couldn't and the next minute they were behind and they had to equalize to stay alive in the game, but still auxere team did great this season they definitly deserve this promotion.
Good thing I didn't bet on that game because they cut electricity in my neighborhood, if I had bet I would have lost money. Auxere may have escaped relegation but if they continue with the same bad performance they will surely be relegated next season, one of the biggest problems of a team that fights not to be relegated every season is that the players and coaches of those teams that they constantly fight to avoid relegation they don't play with motivation, they don't play with the dream of achieving great things, they keep conforming and unfortunately the only way for them to achieve something great is only if they have a lot of money, that is: they have to pray to have some rich to buy the team
The problem with these teams who just play so that they are not relegated the next season is that they are not playing so that they can get better. They are playing just to survive and that is not the optimal way in my opinion. If you want to reach bigger you have to aim bigger. They are certainly not doing that. If you just think about not getting relegated you might not get relegated but you will not get better than that.

St-Etienne used to be in first 10 previously then 4th three or four years ago then +10 and this season relegation play-offs then to Ligue 2. They weren't good this season and deserved to be relegated although they resisted in their game vs Auxerre.. May 29, 2022, 05:20:36 PM

Judging by this game, the return match should not be expected to be rich in goals either... It could probably be a draw there too, with the winner being decided on penalties... By the way, the statistics of head-to-head encounters also showed a lot of draws... The level of play of both teams is the same, but there is a big difference in the fact that one team is a league winner and the other team is an outsider...
I agree with you its unclear who will win this game but it seems that saint etienne has the advantage i have seen some of their games they sometimes play at a high level i think being in that relegation position does not show their true potential i think this is why i would go with them staying in ligue 1. May 27, 2022, 04:06:12 PM
I actually think this match might end in a draw. Not going to be surprised if it is a goalless draw. Because I don't think either of these teams are going to play aggressively. They will be very lucky if they are able to find a hole in the opponent's defense and score a goal. And I also agree that it is really hard to pick a favorite in this match.
The match was almost 60 minutes but the goal there was still for St.Etienne's advantage through a quick goal from Zaydou Youssouf in the 15th minute. but looking at the current stats it looks like Auxerre didn't want to give this an easy win for St. Etienne. They now have more possession of the ball and control of midfield but unfortunately their supply has been hampered by the St. Etienne is still quite strongThe return leg will determine who the winner
