The Greens are doing well. The Professional Football League (LFP) was rather lenient with the Saint-Etienne club, which suffered two matches behind closed doors, one of which closed after the incidents against Paris SG on December 15, where dozens of smoke bombs had been lit.
"After examining the file, the Disciplinary Committee of the LFP decided to sanction AS Saint-Etienne for two matches behind closed doors at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, including one suspended match", for the use "of pyrotechnic devices ”, announced the body.

The club from Saint-Etienne indicated that it had taken note of this sanction and specified that its team would therefore evolve behind closed doors during the next day of Ligue 1 against Nantes this Sunday (3:00 p.m.).
