A first Racing – Lille was played this afternoon, a few hundred meters from Meinau, at the Jean-Nicolas Muller stadium, in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Favorites as a member of the Elite against Lille playing at the lower level, the one that the Strasbourg residents left for the top last summer, the Racingwomen were unfortunately eliminated at the end of the suspense.
Forced to a draw after regulation time (1-1), they failed on penalties (6-7). The Strasbourg women did not need that, after having already lost down to the wire, in front of Montpellier then in Dijon, after having led in the championship. They are nevertheless preparing for a great party, right here, in a week, against Paris SG. A gala match for which more than 10,000 tickets have already been sold.
The Lille women benefited from unusual support. That of the kop accustomed to traveling to follow LOSC in Ligue 1, which doubled the pleasure this Saturday in Strasbourg.
