The poster looked. Less than two weeks after leaving the soap for the Ligue 1 By an explosive classic before the break, we put the cover back with a meeting between two of the most attractive teams of the moment. Two stables that remain on 4 victories in their last 5 league outings.
A real feeling of this year 2025, Strasbourg has the intention of taking on a dumbbell role by the end of the season. Player, daring, Liam Rosenior's team added vice and a calculation zest to her habits to become much more hermetic defensively. The scenario of the first leg had symbolized its naivety (2-4 defeat after leading 2-0 to the Groupama Stadium).
In case of success this Friday evening, Racing even had the opportunity to overtake OL in the ranking. But otherwise, it is the Gones that could temporarily settle on the third step of the podium. The carrot was beautiful. And it was Strasbourg who seized him.
Strasbourg, it's crazy!
Carried by his men in shape Georges Mikautdaze, Corentin Tolisso and Rayan Cherki, OL had real assets to assert. The Gones imposed a real technical superiority in the first half hour, alternating combined game, individual percussion and distant strikes, like Veretout or Tessmann. But above all, they allowed their chance to pass.
More effective in the two areas of truth, Liam Rosenior's men knew how to knock at the best moments to harvest a precious victory at the end of a match that will remain a top of the game in this Ligue 1. season. While Mikautadze has passed a huge thrill on a superb recovery came to crash on the transverse bar at the start of the match (9th), everything was finally played in a completely crazy act.
Balled in the first period, Liam Rosenior's men made lightning speak by putting all the ingredients to ignite their audience. The light came from the inevitable Andrey Santos, on the lookout on a corner (1-0, 55th). Bakwa then dubbed the stretch of a grazing strike (2-0, 60th) before Emegha, on a sublime in-depth service in Barco, finds the net for his 12th goal in Ligue 1 this season (3-0, 73rd).
Meanwhile, OL had resumed hope thanks to a Tolisso helmet stroke (2-1, 62nd). But this Strasbourg team is carried by exceptional virtues. In an exceptional end of the match, Amo-Ameyaw delivered the Alsatian people on an opportunistic goal-their first in Ligue 1 (4-1, 89th). The reduction in the OL score on a Mikautdaze penalty has changed anything (4-2, 90th+7). Strasbourg realizes the first big blow of this school year and passes in front of his opponent of the day. We will have to count with the Sensation team this season.
