Saint-Étienne Loses Preseason Friendly to Servette in Geneva

Saint-Étienne suffered a 0-1 defeat to Servette in a closed-door preseason friendly in Geneva. The team, described as physically drained after 21 training sessions, created almost no danger and managed only one shot on target, from Lucas Stassin in the 34th minute. Servette opened the scoring in the 32nd minute through Miroslav Stevanovic after a risky clearance by Joao Ferreira. Saint-Étienne's coach Ian Cathro made several changes at halftime and the 63rd minute, leading to disorganization. The team struggled with ball circulation and lost possession frequently. Despite the loss, the coach emphasized the goal of facing teams ready for competition to find solutions. The next friendly is scheduled against Rangers in Glasgow on Wednesday evening.
