The debrief
The Greens are not moving in the Europa League. After a disappointing draw reduced from Qarabag (0-0) during the first day, Christophe Galtier’s men were again hanging by Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, leader of the Ukrainian championship with six wins and a draw. Saint-Etienne have not stopped attacking (43 attacks against 17 Ukrainians) but ineffective in the last twenty yards. Dnipro could even have opened the scoring on a careless mistake Loïc Perrin, punished with a penalty logic. But Stéphane Ruffier clothed again Saviour his suit to allow the Greens to join the locker room with a goalless draw.
Despite several good chances in the second half, Etienne failed to find the flaw face Ukrainians who gladly settle for the draw. Their first point in the competition after their initial defeat against Inter Milan. Milanese training femme fatale of Qarabag (2-0) at the same time, the ASSE now face twice with four points behind. Hoping that this time, the lack of efficiency is not up to date …
The film of the game
9th minute
Gradel struck on the left side of the Ukrainian surface, Douglas plays and tries to hit uncrossed, slightly deflected. Boyko pushes hard for a corner.
27th minute
Perrin is stupidly have a ball in his back. The captain Etienne sees Kalinic escape and he grabs the arm. Dnipro striker collapses and the referee gave the penalty logically. It is the surface referee who pointed. While he seemed to be in a position to last defender, Perrin that gets a yellow card.
28th minute
Kalinic tries to do her justice -even and tries to put the ball along the ground to the left of Ruffier. But Etienne keeper comes decisive parade through a splendid relaxation.
48th minute
Another great inspiration Gradel who found Monnet-Paquet on a ball flying at the far post. The former Lens player stretches full length to resume offering but Boyko makes a great save on the line.
52nd minute
Served by Zozulya, Kalinic attempts recovery of left. It is crossed and powerful but still Ruffier fate stopping it takes to save the Greens.
60th minute
Good cross at the near post to Monnet- packet to Van Wolsfwinkel which precedes Douglas but his pass just outside the left post of Boyko.
77th minute
Clement serves Corgnet the edge of the area placing his head. It bounced off a defender and the ball urkrainien returns to the feet of Gradel, alone in the area. The Ivorian shoots right on Boyko who had gone to meet him.
Players under the microscope
already excellent at Qarabag in the first game of the Greens in the group stage, RUFFIER still shone with a penalty stopped and a good save in the second period. But man of the match was Etienne side GRADEL . He has been very lively and extremely available. In legs, he often made the right choice and has obtained the only occasion Etienne in the first period. A great game from the Ivorian international, even if the finish was not at the rendezvous. Its counterpart on the other wing, Monnet PACK , has managed some nice acceleration and was effective in the defensive withdrawal but the former Lorient expected more. Close to open the scoring after the break. After the first minute very encouraging, VAN WOLSFWINKEL is off. A beautiful vibrant energy to report on his part and a great chance in the second half. In defense, Tabanou has been quieter than usual on his left side, even though he tried a few keystrokes after the break. In contrast, CLERK is to be credited with a big performance right. Very present in the vanguard, the former Lyon very well combined with his wingmen. Back after a month’s absence, PERRIN has brought his physical power the set pieces of his team but he was close to his expulsion down in the area on Kalinic. Fortunately for him Ruffier watched the grain. Bayal has proved intractable in the air and did not err. Hidden in the middle three, CLEMENT has fully played its role as sentinel with a dry cleaners who paid about adverse environments. A job shadow invaluable. Lemoine and COHADE have many combined them wisely and often one-touch football. The second shows off his technique several times.
Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk
The fans can thank the Dnipro Boyko . Their goalie just stopped everything and was very confident in his actions as that carried out in the last seconds. On its right side, Fedetskiy has struggled to withstand accelerations Gradel. Suddenly, his offensive contribution was less. He finished the game on the ball … Left, Strinić also suffered and tried some centers that have not been sold. The central defense Mazuch – DOUGLAS held up quite well, especially in front of the liveliness of Van Wolsfwinkel. Kankava and Politylo have a lot of work against adverse environments. Properly delivered by the two central midfielders Dnipro. Placed on the wing for 55 minutes, Zozulya did not have his usual performance. The Ukrainian international has had more impact when it is pressed into the shaft. KRAVCHENKO and BRUNO GAMA were conspicuously absent. Very interesting hub, KALINIC has caused the penalty but missed it in stride. It has involved Ruffier in the second half but was replaced early on by Konoplyanka (55th). Whereas as a starter, it provided technical key to properly highlight the balloons.
Mr referee’s report
M.Tudor acted responsibly by not giving a yellow card Perrin conceded the penalty. An indisputable penalty. Some strange decisions but the Croatian referee rather tidy his game
It happened backstage …
-. Returning from injury, Perrin found his captaincy and its place in the center of the Etienne defense. In the absence of Erding, wounded man is Van Wolsfwinkel who was tenured at peak. Corgnet he was back on the bench
-. Danger No.1 Dnipro Konoplyanka was finally on the bench at kickoff. It is not entered at the 56th minute of the game
-. Dnipro has not beaten French opponent after this 0-0, but won seven draws in nine games, especially during the last four games
