St. Étienne v Montpellier
St Etienne 3-1 Montpellier
Manchester United's Paul Pogba was at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard to watch his brother Florentin in action but the ASSE defender was out of position when Steve Mounie bundled in Montpellier's 23rd-minute opener, after Stephane Ruffier parried Souleymane Camara's initial effort.St Etienne needed less than a minute of the second half to get back on terms, Kevin Monnet-Paquet firing home left-footed after Jeremy Clement's knockdown.And it was 2-1 four minutes later as Oussama Tannane swung in a free-kick and, with Nolan Roux offside at the near post, the ball instead travelled to the back stick where Ligue 1 debutant Dylan Saint-Louis scored with a downward header.Monnet-Paquet hit the crossbar before substitute Robert Beric rolled in a late third for Les Verts.ends
