AS Saint-Étienne maintains perfect Ligue 2 start

Overview

The French Ligue 2 season has progressed through its fifth matchday, with AS Saint-Étienne maintaining a perfect record. The club has now secured five consecutive victories, most recently defeating Montpellier HSC 3-1.

During the match against Montpellier, manager Ian Cathro implemented tactical adjustments at halftime, instructing players to play with more fluidity and speed. This shift resulted in goals from Maxime Bernauer and Joshua Duffus. Despite the winning streak, sporting director Loïc Perrin stated that Cathro continues to demand improvements from the squad to maintain momentum toward promotion, noting that the manager is not yet fully satisfied with the team's performance.

Prior to this victory, Saint-Étienne held the top position following a 4-0 win against Grenoble Foot 38. Montpellier HSC had previously entered the season trailing the leaders by two points and was seeking to capitalize on their recent away form.

Earlier matchday results included a 2-2 draw between Pau FC and Rodez AF, featuring two goals from Babacar Leye for Pau. Grenoble Foot 38 earned their first win of the season with a 3-0 victory over Laval, while Stade de Reims defeated Red Star 4-1.
