"It's a great reward for the efforts made. We play with our values, the scenario is quite crazy", savored on Prime Video Mathieu Coutadeur.
"When + Youc + (Youcef Belaïli) is in these evenings, it's great for everyone".
The outcome of the meeting is unlikely.
Led 2-0 after 17 minutes, the promoted Ajaccien completely changed the face of the match, helped by a boiling public and the nerve of his Algerian winger Belaïli, author of a double and an assist.
Between the 33rd minute and half-time, the ACA scored a whopping four goals, two from the penalty spot by Belaïli, one from Mounaïm El Idrissy and a final one from Riad Nouri on a service from Belaïli.
The Algerian, who arrived in Corsica in mid-October as a joker, even missed another penalty in the second half to maintain the suspense in this crazy match, where video assistance to arbitration was used on numerous occasions.
The suspense lasted until the end of the game, after the red card received by Ajaccien Clément Vidal (80th).
But unlike their meeting of the 13th day against Marseille, where they had managed to equalize at the very end of the match (2-2), the Strasbourgeois ended up conceding defeat.
Thanks to this success, the 3rd of the season, the Corsicans double the Alsatians in the standings, taking 17th place with 11 points, one more than Racing.
