Annecy and Grenoble played out a 1-1 draw in a fiercely contested Derby of the Alps in French Ligue 2 on February 7, 2025. The match, played in a charged atmosphere, saw both teams trade first-half goals, with neither able to find a winner despite late pressure from the home side. Annecy took the lead from a set-piece, but Grenoble responded well, equalizing with a well-worked team move before the interval. The second half was a cagey affair, with both sides cautious of making a mistake that could cost them in a tight relegation battle. The point was arguably more valuable for Grenoble, who secured a hard-earned draw away from home, while Annecy will view it as two points dropped in their fight for survival. The result did little to alter either team's position near the bottom of the Ligue 2 table, highlighting the importance of every point in a congested lower half.
