Augustine Boakye gave Saint-Etienne fans a night to remember after his crucial goal helped seal a 2-1 win over Clermont Foot in Ligue 1.
The Ghanaian attacker started brightly, working tirelessly up front, and his efforts paid off in the second half.
The match began with Clermont drawing first blood when Axel Camblan fired a stunning strike from distance in the 44th minute. Saint-Etienne went into the break frustrated but determined. Just seven minutes after the restart, Boakye found space in the box and calmly slotted home from Lucas Stassin’s pass, sending the away fans into wild celebration.
That equalizer lifted Saint-Etienne’s spirit, and ten minutes later the provider turned scorer. Stassin pounced on a cross from Irvin Cardona and smashed in the winner from close range. Boakye, who lasted 80 minutes, left the pitch to warm applause, his goal marking a defining moment in the game.
Saint-Etienne held firm in the final minutes to secure all three points. The win keeps their momentum alive as they prepare to face Reims on September 20.
