AS Saint-Etienne have tracked down the young fan who was caught on film defiantly repping the club in their 2-2 draw with Nantes at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday.
Despite being two goals up at one point, AS Saint-Etienne conceded a 2-2 draw away to Nantes on Sunday. Renaud Emond scored the goal that clinched a point for Les Canaris, but as he ran to the stands to celebrate his goal with the fans, a young Sainté fan could be seen replying with a defiant wave of an emblematic green Saint-Etienne flag.
A beautiful footballing moment showing that a true fan sticks by their side in the tough times as well as the good, and the club immediately launched a search to track down the young fan. Roughly seven hours later (!) they found their man and let him know that his stalwart defence of the club's colours would not go unrewarded.
"A gift will soon be in your mailbox, Jules," promised the club that, despite sharing the points on Sunday, sit atop the Ligue 1 Uber Eats standings heading into Round 5.
