Eiji Kawashima came out well against Kutesa, touching the ball but he will end up in the net.

RC Strasbourg lost to Reims (0-1), at the Meinau stadium, this Sunday, on the occasion of the 22nd day of Ligue 1.
The Alsatians had a few chances but lacked realism.
In the second half, they were mostly dominated by the Rémois.
"Everything is not to be thrown away but it is not a match that satisfies me", summarized the Alsatian coach Thierry Laurey.
At the Meinau stadium,
The Racing season will therefore be a struggle until the end.
Strasbourg had a great opportunity to embellish it against Reims on Sunday: they missed it.
Beaten (0-1), the Alsatians remain stuck in this sad 15th place in Ligue 1. With enough lead over the first relegation (6 points) not to tremble, and too far behind the Top 10 to dream of go higher.
What to predict an end of the championship without much flavor?
“As I said on Friday, the two teams had the same number of points so whoever would win was going to switch to the right side.
The other remains in a situation not delicate but the results of this evening are not favorable to us, answers Thierry Laurey, appeared disappointed with the performance of his players.
“It's not all to throw away but it's not a game that satisfies me.
We had a lot of trouble getting close to the goal, especially in the second half.
"
His players did have a few chances for a total of ... two shots on target in 90 minutes.
The worst part is that they could have opened the scoring more realistically.
Except that the crossbar got the better of Chahiri (30th) then Thomasson (74th).
The same Chahiri had a huge opportunity at the start of the game but, ten meters from the full axis goal, found a way to find the Champagne goalkeeper ... To these attempts, we must add that of Ajorque, whose shot at a closed angle was well stopped, still by Rajkovic (76th).
Unlucky kawashima
Less than five minutes later, Kutesa freed Reims by anticipating the good exit of Kawashima (0-1, 80th).
A goal a bit lucky but which came to reward the stranglehold of his own on the meeting.
“At times we controlled the game quite well.
We had control and the Strasbourg were dangerous only on a few strokes, ”summarized the Marseille coach David Guion, satisfied to see that“ the boys are advancing, the group is progressing ”.
Our Ligue 1 file
In Strasbourg, he is evolving at the end of the transfer window.
Kenny Lala was not on the scoresheet this Sunday.
The right-back, whose contract in Alsace was due to end in June, is announced very close to the Greek club Olympiakos.
He should be replaced by Frédéric Guilbert, who no longer plays at Aston Villa but who has proven himself in Ligue 1, in Caen.
"All this is not official so I will not comment on it", dodged the Alsatian defender Alexander Djiku, moreover not more annoyed than that after this defeat.
“In the content, it is not worrying, we just lacked realism.
“And the opportunity to experience a more exciting end to the season.
