After a nerve-wracking penalty shootout, Saint-Étienne booked their place in the Ligue 1 promotion playoff, defeating Rodez 7-6 following a 0-0 draw at Geoffroy-Guichard. The victory ended a five-game losing streak in penalty shootouts for the Greens, a drought stretching back a decade.
The match itself was a tight affair, with both sides struggling to create clear chances. Rodez, riding a 21-game unbeaten streak, nearly broke the deadlock in the 81st minute but saw a golden opportunity wasted. Saint-Étienne, meanwhile, had Wilitty Younoussa’s strike cannon off the crossbar in the first half.
