The Ligue 1 clash between Strasbourg and Saint-Étienne ended in a nail-biting 0-1 victory for Saint-Étienne on April 14, 2018.
Saint-Étienne controlled the game, with a 57% possession rate. They had a slightly lower shot count, with 5 total shots, compared to Strasbourg's 16, but they were clinical in their approach. Rémy Cabella, of Saint-Étienne, scored the match-winning goal in the 82nd minute. It was a well-taken goal, assisted by Monnet-Paquet.
Strasbourg, despite their impressive shot count, struggled to break through Saint-Étienne's defense. The match was fairly tight throughout, with a few yellow cards issued to both sides. Both teams made late substitutions in an attempt to secure a win, but only Saint-Etienne could achieve the decisive moment.
The most exciting part of the game was the late goal. Saint-Étienne looked threatening for most of the match, dominating possession and creating chances. Strasbourg showed resilience, but ultimately couldn't overcome their opponent's tactical prowess. Saint-Étienne's approach was to maintain possession, keep the ball circulating and find spaces to exploit with their attacks. Strasbourg, it seemed, focused on countering and tried to create chances on the break.
