Andrézieux secured a 3:2 victory over Grenoble in a Club Friendlies fixture on 1 August 2026. The hosts opened their scoring accounts with a win after a mixed run of results, while the visitors ended a sequence of four unbeaten games. The match took place at 17:45 local time.
Grenoble had been building momentum before this evening. They drew 1:1 with Clermont on 1 August, beat Étoile du Sud 3:0 on 25 July, and took all three points against Sochaux the following week. Their form included a 5:2 win over Villefranche and a goalless draw with Bourg-en-Bresse 01.
Andrézieux's recent record told a different story. They lost 1:4 to Clermont on 18 July, drew 1:1 with Lyon on 15 November 2025, and had suffered defeats to Villefranche and Le Puy in 2023 and 2022 respectively. A 2:1 victory over Le Puy in July 2022 was their most recent success before this evening.
and here's the thing — three goals scored and two conceded is not the kind of result that settles questions about defensive solidity. The hosts found a way to finish ahead after a run that included two losses in their last five outings. To be fair, Grenoble's recent form had been steadier, with only one defeat in four matches.
By then, the visitors had accumulated four consecutive games without defeat. They had scored ten goals and conceded just four across those fixtures. Andrézieux, meanwhile, had managed only three goals in five matches while allowing seven past them.
The final score leaves both teams with something to consider before any competitive fixtures. Andrézieux gained confidence from beating a side that had been hard to break down. Grenoble lost ground on a run that had suggested improvement.
