  • RC Strasbourg and SCO Angers could not decide on this Sunday at Meinau (0-0).

  • Before the game, the Strasbourg supporters welcomed theirs as heroes, winners of the Grand-Est derby last Sunday in Metz.

    It was the best action of the afternoon!

  • "There is a lot of frustration," nevertheless dared the Strasbourg side Anthony Caci, before quickly returning to more peaceful feelings.

    “You have to know how to take the good side, we did not lose.

    "

At the Meinau stadium,

The show was not on the field, Sunday at the Meinau.

Rather outside.

Before the match against Angers, several hundred Strasbourg supporters surprised the players.

Winners of the Grand Est derby last week in Metz (2-1), Stefan Mitrovic's partners were treated to songs, smoke and a hero's welcome.

Short but intense match 💙🤍🔥💥 !!!

The rest was less exciting.

The game against the SCO was choppy, with a total of 33 fouls, including 23 just for the Alsatians.

Between these whistles, there were quite a few opportunities, again especially in favor of Racing.

But neither Thomasson (45th + 1), nor Diallo, twice (53rd, 89th) managed to beat Bernardoni.

Opposite, Kawashima also lived an afternoon without much fear spent ... the 2nd minute and this header from Thomas on target.

In short, there was everything to end with an old 0-0 purring on Sunday afternoon.

What did not seem to displease the actors.

"There is a lot of frustration," nevertheless dared the Strasbourg side Anthony Caci, before quickly returning to more peaceful feelings.

“You have to know how to take the good side, we did not lose.

Or a speech given a few minutes earlier by his trainer.

When Thierry Lauray evoked this point of the draw as "a lesser evil".

"We do not play games to go 0-0 but it is sometimes good to limit costs," added the technician.

On the Angers side, the draw was also appreciated, especially after 3 outings without a win in Ligue 1. “Of course, these are not the games we dream of,” admitted Angelo Fulgini.

We don't have a lot of fun with the ball but rather with the result.
