Strasbourg (AFP)

Strasbourg easily won the derby against Metz (3-0) on Friday at La Meinau at the opening of the 6th day of Ligue 1, and moved away from the bottom of the standings.

Racing took advantage of a hard-pressed Lorraine defense in the first period.

Ludovic Ajorque opened the scoring straight away from the penalty spot (6th), obtained after a failed exit by Alexandre Oukidja on Dimitri Liénard.

Worse, the Garnets were knocked out by a sumptuous double from their ex-striker Habib Diallo (26th, 40th).
