Strasbourg triumphs over Angers, securing their first league win since May 2020, as goals from Yannick Gameiro and Tanguy Diallo were instrumental in the dramatic 2-1 victory. Gameiro opened the scoring for Strasbourg early in the second half, hitting the post after a header from Antoine Griezmann. The striker then added his second goal of the match when he curled a shot past Angers goalkeeper Kévin Bélanger. The score was quickly levelled by Angers, but a powerful effort from Youssef Assi in the 68th minute gave Strasbourg a 2-1 lead. The midfielder's strike came from a corner and bounced off the post before being saved by Kévin Bélanger. The hosts had earlier equalised through a well-taken penalty kick from Moussa Sissoko. However, it proved to be too little, too late as Strasbourg sealed their victory with a final whistle. Strasbourg have now won four straight matches, moving up to third place in the Ligue 1 table. Their recent form has been impressive, with only two defeats in their last six games, while Angers have struggled recently, losing three of their last five matches. Strasbourg's success comes at a time when they are under pressure from relegation-threatened clubs like Lyon and Bordeaux, who are fighting hard for promotion. However, the team's resilience and determination will undoubtedly serve them well going forward. |
