The parenthesis that they hoped would be enchanted has closed. Struggling in D1, where they occupy a somewhat enviable place of 11th, that of first relegation, the women of Racing expected to find a little momentum in the Cup.
Alas, their journey ended this Saturday, at the Jean-Nicolas Muller stadium, against Lille, residents of D2. Vincent Nogueira's side were eliminated on penalties (6-7) after conceding a draw (1-1) at the end of regulation time. Laurine Hannequin opened the scoring for Strasbourg in the 38th minute, but Anna Conesa restored parity just before returning to the locker room.
Racing will return to Meinau next Saturday, on behalf of the championship, with the clash against PSG for which 9,000 tickets have already found takers.
