Brest is not about to come down from its little cloud, everything is going well for Éric Roy and his men, who went to crush Racing in Alsace 3 goals to 0 thanks to a Mahdi Camara in a state of grace, author of a hat-trick (33rd, 40th, 59th). With this new success, the Bretons are comfortably in second place in Ligue 1, with a provisional lead of 4 points over Nice (43 pts). For the RCSA it’s another story, Vieira’s men make themselves vulnerable and remain eleventh, 3 points from the red zone.
On the other side of France, the SB29 traveled with the desire to add 1 match to its invincibility counter in the championship, now increased to 12 units. Facing them, Strasbourg is engaged in a completely different dynamic, with a series of 3 defeats in a row, and it showed.
After a timid start on both sides, the runner-up of PSG launched their match, driven by the first goal from Mahdi Camara (33rd), following a blocked strike from Martin Satriano, then resumed by the French midfielder. A few minutes later, he scored a double. The number 45 did it again at the conclusion of a school action starting from a touch, and led by Lala and Satriano (40th). The red machine is launched and their opponents in blue are overwhelmed, Monsieur Brisard ended this first period with a score of 2 to 0.
Upon returning from the locker room, Vieira called for a revolt from his players, without response. The score has not moved in their direction, even worse it has evolved. Already before the break, Camara tried to score a third, and continued his quest during the second act. A new attempt later, Lees-Melou provoked a questionable hand from Guilbert, giving the hero of the evening the opportunity to complete the hat-trick. Camara grabbed the ball and it was done just before the hour mark (58th). Eric Roy took advantage of the comfortable advantage to do his rotations, while still waiting for the Strasbourg revolt which never happened.
