This Saturday, the Racing Club of Strasbourg welcomed AS Saint-Étienne on the occasion of the 31st day of Ligue 1. From the seventh minute of play, the Alsatians opened the scoring thanks to Diego Moreira. With a sublime exterior of the law, the international Portuguese hope cleaned the Larsonneur skylight (1-0).

The Stéphanois were soon to retaliate. After Nanasi found the post (16th), Davitashvili managed to equalize. Alone in the six meters after eliminating omobamidele and Sarr, the Georgian concluded his beautiful action with a cross-right foot (1-1, 18th). The two teams returned to the locker room on a parity score after a first pleasant act.

RCSA has a podium point!

In the second period, Liam Rosenior's men took advantage of the display board thanks to Emegha. The Dutch-center-center forward took a center of the right foot with a center without control of Moreira to register his 14th achievement of the season in the league (2-1, 63rd). At the end of the game, Bakwa made the break, ensuring victory to his team, with a powerful crossed left strike (3-1, 83rd).

Thanks to this victory (3-1), the first since April 6, Strasbourg temporarily dates back to fifth place in the ranking. Andrey Santos and his teammates now have 54 points on the clock, as much as AS Monaco and OGC Nice, and only one less than Olympique de Marseille. As for the Greens, they remain in the relegation, 17th place, with 27 units. An identical number in Le Havre, which faces the Principality club this Saturday evening.
