  • Racing won a point on the lawn of Lille Sunday afternoon (1-1).

  • But Strasbourg have regrets because they had the opportunities to win at the end of the match.

There are images that do not deceive.

It was enough to see the faces of the Alsatian players at the end of the match to understand that this draw on the lawn of the Lille leader did not necessarily make Racing happy.

In normal times, a draw at Losc (1-1) for a club that plays the maintenance would necessarily have been a good operation.

But given the appearance of the match, the Strasbourg people really came close to the perfect shot.

After opening the scoring by Ajorque (36th), the defense held until the equalization of Fonte (87th).

But it was Diallo who had the match point at the last second.

Alone in front of Maignan, the attacker saw his shot diverted by the Lille goalkeeper.

What feed some regrets.

“We came here to play a good game and show a good state of mind, which we managed to do.

We are frustrated not to take the three points because I think we deserved them ”, regrets Jean-Eudes Aholou, the Strasbourg midfielder

Laurey victim of a slight discomfort

During the match, nothing or almost nothing has damaged the serenity of the Alsatians.

Well organized in 4-2-3-1, the Strasbourgers posed very big problems to Northerners long deprived of solutions.

Rarely have Losc been so badly handled this season at home.

“Looking at the content, we can be disappointed because the guys put in a lot of effort.

We created great situations for ourselves and we more than hampered them.

We held on well behind.

Everyone had a big defensive game.

We are proud but we are also a little bit disappointed.

To hold out so long, to have situations of doubling the score and not to do it, it's a shame, ”admitted Fabien Lefèvre, Thierry Laurey's assistant victim of a slight discomfort in the first period.

The coach, who came out for treatment during the match, did not witness the great performance of his team from the bench.

Strasbourg is advancing in slow motion

This point to the taste of unfinished will at least have allowed to boost the morale of Racing in the fight for maintenance.

“It will serve as oxygen for us before the match against Monaco on Wednesday,” hopes Fabien Lefèvre.

It should be because despite its good performance, Racing is moving slowly.

With only one victory in its last seven league games, the club (15th) is only five points ahead of the barrage.

What to regret even more the lost points for the leader ...
