Football / Ligue 1. Racing tops / flops

Tops

1. The penalty scored by Kevin Gameiro in the 43rd minute to give Racing the advantage. On November 21, while Racing was led by Reims (1-1), we remember that the attacker had failed in this not so obvious exercise, sending a missile into the kop. We were then playing the … 43rd minute.

2. The goal of Dimitri Liénard, perfectly served in withdrawal by Kévin Gameiro (4-1, 48th). Passenger during the second day – for Ludovic Ajorque at the Parc -, the “peasant of Belfort” had not blackened a sheet of statistics since. By scoring this Wednesday, the captain of Racing put an end to more than seven months of famine: he had in fact not scored since April 18 in Nîmes.

3. With 31 goals to its counter, Racing moved to the second place in the ranking of the best attacks in Ligue 1, behind Paris SG (35 goals), which was held in check (0-0) this Wednesday by Nice, the future opponent of Strasbourg on Sunday. It is Lens which has the third most prolific attack with 29 goals scored after its draw (2-2) in Clermont.

The flops

1. Because we have to cheek a bit on this evening of the sixth victory of the season, we will insist on the bad habit that the Strasbourgers have taken to get into difficulty on their own. As in the three previous matches, in Nantes (2-2), against Reims (1-1) and Monaco (1-1), the Blues thus ran behind the score after forgetting the South Korean Hwang in the box (0-1, 7th).

This time the reaction was overwhelming. Even before the break, Thomasson (22nd), Gameiro (43rd sp) and Ajorque (45th + 1) had forgotten the bad start. Next step: don’t get in the way.

2. With the sudden deterioration of the health situation, the dark images resurface in the minds of the players. Dimitri Liénard echoed this: “We must really take advantage because we see that this Covid crap is making a comeback. There are already matches behind closed doors in Germany. If we relive that here, it would be Atrocious for us, it really messes things up. We play to give pleasure to people, to Alsace, not to evolve in an empty stadium. ”
