Ghana's Augustine Boakye struck in the 90th minute to snatch a 1-0 Ligue 2 win for Saint-Etienne over Nantes.
Ghana's Augustine Boakye is the man of the moment at Saint-Etienne. His 90th-minute goal on Saturday sealed a 1-0 Ligue 2 win over Nantes at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
It looked like a stalemate was on the cards. Saint-Etienne pushed hard for an opening in the early exchanges but found it difficult to carve out clear chances. Nantes stayed compact and disciplined at the back and frustrated the hosts for long spells.
Then Boakye stepped up when it mattered most. His late strike broke the deadlock and sent the home crowd into a frenzy, turning a tense night into a party and giving Les Verts all three points.
The Ghanaian midfielder is having a superb season. He now has six goals and three assists in 10 league appearances, which shows how important he has become to Saint-Etienne's attack.
Next up for Saint-Etienne is a Ligue 2 clash with En Avant Guingamp on October 31. Boakye, in this kind of form, will be central to their hopes of keeping the momentum going.
