The Racing Club of Strasbourg was forced to accept a draw, a result perceived as frustrating, when it met the OGC Nice (2-2) at the Meinau stadium. Although the final result was not satisfactory for fans, a player’s performance was significantly distinguished, capturing the attention of observers and the media.

Andrey Santos, a midfielder from Brazil, proved to be the central element of the Alsatian performance. His two decisive passes were decisive in the turnaround of the Racing in the second period, allowing Emanuel Emegha and Samuel Amo-Ameyaw to score in three minutes. This major contribution has earned him the unanimity of the three main media – Team, DNA and Direct Racing – who named him the man of the game with an average score of 7 out of 10.

Beyond Santos’ outstanding performance, the contributions of other players proved to be more uneven. While some have been able to meet the demands of the match against a resolutely combative Nice team, others have found it more difficult to stand out, thus stressing the growing importance of the role played by the Brazilian midfielder in the Strasbourg intergame.
