En Avant Guingamp achieved a major feat by winning 3-2 on the field of Saint-Étienne during the 8th day of Ligue 2, Saturday, September 27, 2025.
This victory at Geoffroy-Guichard, a stadium known to be difficult, marks the first defeat of the season for ASSE. The undisputed Guingamp hero was Amine Hemia, who scored his second goal in a few days, showcasing his role as the team’s beating heart.
The match began with Guingamp taking the lead thanks to Hemia in the 29th minute, setting the tone for this intense encounter. Despite an own goal by Dylan Lousierre for Saint-Étienne just before halftime (44′), Guingamp responded with goals from Darly Nlandu (67′) and Tanguy Ahile (81′), sealing the victory. Defensive solidity from Donatien Gomis was also a key factor in this success, embodying the role of leader both on and off the pitch.
Individual performances from Guingamp were praised, especially Hemia’s, who continues to influence the club’s positive results. His involvement in key plays, through goals or assists, confirms his rise this season. On Saint-Étienne’s side, despite constant commitment, the team could not avoid their third defeat in Ligue 2, highlighting flaws that need to be corrected quickly.
Beyond the victory, this match confirms Guingamp’s regained competitiveness as they position themselves 13th with an interesting momentum in Ligue 2. Saint-Étienne, previously undefeated, must now reassess before facing their next opponents. This evening remains memorable for En Avant Guingamp, driven by a Hemia in sublime form and an exemplary leader in Gomis who bring hope to their supporters.
