Saint-Etienne-Rodez: The Greens win on penalties and will play in the play

Penalty Shootout? “It was incredible”, savors hero Brice Maubleu

Brice Maubleu on Bein Sports: “We are very happy to pass this round. It was a tough match. We are focused on the next match. The penalty shootout? It was incredible because we were leading 2-0, we had a match point on the fifth, the goalkeeper made the save. I had the match point to win the team, I missed it. Behind, I had to save it. Mika (Mickael Nadé) finished the job. It’s a bit like the lottery, we work on them more or less during the week to try to stop them and score. We did not expect such a difficult session.”

Saint-Etienne’s players already focused on Thursday (even if they don’t know their opponent)

Maxime Bernauer on Bein Sports: “It was a complicated match. We didn’t want to make the same mistakes. We wanted to win in the 90 minutes. The most important thing was to win. Brice (Maubleu) saved four penalties. We have to be ready for the playoffs.”
