Annecy came to Stade des Alpes and took all three points against Grenoble in a Ligue 2 encounter that stayed balanced until the final stages. The visitors led 2-1 by the end, with the scoreline reflecting a game that could have gone either way. It was Regular Season - 5, played on September 4th, 2026.
Thibault Rambaud gave the hosts the lead in the 66th minute, but Annecy responded quickly. Samba Lele Diba equalised seven minutes later, and by then the momentum had shifted. Paul Venot sealed it with a late strike in the 91st minute, and Grenoble were left chasing a result they never really controlled.
There were plenty of changes across the pitch. Annecy brought on Kadan Young and Moïse Sahi in the 56th minute, while Grenoble introduced Lucas Bernadou in the 73rd. The visitors also saw Antoine Larose and Gabin Secrétant replaced together in the 67th, and both sides made late substitutions as the game opened up.
Annecy held possession for 56 per cent and created three big chances compared to Grenoble's one. The visitors registered four shots on target from 11 attempts, while the hosts managed only two on target from eight attempts. Grenoble had more attacks overall - 97 to 101 - but the quality of their final third work was questionable.
The result moves Annecy to sixth place on seven points from four games, while Grenoble drop further down to 13th with just four points. The visitors had shown inconsistency recently with three draws or losses in their opening five fixtures, but this win gives them something to build on. Grenoble, meanwhile, will be reflecting on a match where they created little and gave away too much.
