Saint-Étienne 4:3 Venezia — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Jakob Breum’s double helped Saint-Étienne edge Venezia 4-3 in a Club Friendly that swung dramatically on the hour mark. It was a chaotic contest where the Italian side dominated possession yet found themselves chasing the game for most of the afternoon.

Saint-Étienne struck first through Breum on 14 minutes, but Venezia levelled on 31 before Breum restored the lead just before the break. Lucas Stassin extended the advantage on 51, only for Venezia to reply on 65, setting up a tense finale. Adam Baallal’s 85th-minute strike proved decisive, and though Venezia pulled one back in stoppage time, their evening unravelled when they saw a red card at 90 minutes.

The numbers tell a blunt story: Venezia held 67% possession and won six corners to Saint-Étienne’s one, yet Saint-Étienne were ruthless in front of goal. Maxime Bernauer, a defender, earned the top rating of 6.44 without scoring, a quiet anchor in a frantic match. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Venezia, but the result did not confirm it, and the live signals offered no corrective. There is no next fixture to look ahead to.
