Strasbourg was effective

The Principality club, which had an excellent start to the match, had the first opportunity of the match. Ideally launched in depth by a marvelous pass from Minamino, Embolo takes the ball to the edge of the area. He appears against Petrovic but loses his duel on his right cross shot (18th). Behind, Adi Hütter's men will monopolize the ball without being dangerous in front of the Strasbourg goal. They were penalized shortly before the half-hour mark. Receiving a cross from Moreira from the left, Guéla Doué controlled the ball in the area, cleared Ben Seghir and struck hard with the right from a tight angle. It's a goal at the near post, Majecki had covered poorly (1-0, 29th).

Five minutes from the end of regulation time in the first act, Akliouche goes deep and takes advantage of a masterful body feint from Minamino to enter the area. He shifts Embolo alone, 10 meters away, who misses his shot from the right. The too-soft ball ends up in the arms of Petrovic (40th). In added time, the Alsatian club was close to scoring a second goal. On a neutral ball in the center of the field, Lamine Camara tries to pass towards Kehrer, but the defender is no longer there and the ball goes towards the goal. Bakwa takes it and confronts Majecki, but cannot find the target from the left (45' +1). Behind, nothing more will happen and the referee whistles the break (45' +3).
