The tops
Jeanricner Bellegarde really likes the Stade de Reims. Already author of the goal of the equalizer in the first leg at the end of additional time (1-1), the midfielder scored his second goal of the season, just as beautiful as the first, with a sumptuous strike from the right at the entrance to the surface (0-1, 69th). A goal that should have been synonymous with success…
The unconditional support of Strasbourg supporters who made the Auguste-Delaune stadium a branch of Meinau. They were more than a thousand among the 10,405 spectators to give voice.
The series of five games unbeaten of Strasbourg which allows them to score 44 points (5th). Too bad the last three ended in a split.
The flops
Ibrahima Sissoko is not in the shape of his life, he himself said so. Substitute in the last two meetings, the great midfielder has this time regained a starting place, in the absence of Adrien Thomasson (knee).
Alas, ”Ibou” was not to his advantage, clearly lacking rhythm and precision. Never in the right tempo, he did almost everything backwards. Warned for a sole on Kebbal (64th), he gave up his place two minutes later to Dimitri Liénard.
The useless fault of Anthony Caci, along the sideline on Cassama. While the Blues had the game in hand, the side offers an equalizing ball that Zeneli will offer to Cadjus (1-1, 84th).
the seventh game in a row where Ludovic Ajorque did not score a goal. The tall Reunionese had a few chances but did not frame the slightest ball.
It is therefore not yet this season that Racing will win in Champagne, a series that has been going on for… 64 years and 23 confrontations !
