Sunday evening in Monaco was marked by a controversy over a disputed goal. The Racing Club in Strasbourg was refused a goal for a tiny difference, while Monaco’s goal, in a similar situation, was validated. The Strasbourg coach strongly criticized this decision, expressing his perplexity about the inconsistency of the arbitration. Despite this disadvantage, the Racing demonstrated its ability to return to the score after being led 2-0, but finally succumbed in the last seconds of the match, earning a third goal that sealed Monaco’s victory over the 3-2 score.

The Strasbourg team also faced significant absences on this third day of Ligue 1. Emmanuel Emegha, a Dutch attacker, was forced to report pain to the ischio-legs after scoring his team’s third goal against Bronnby. In order to preserve his health, the technical staff decided to put him to rest before the international truce. In addition, Sekou Mara should be loaned to Auxerre, which explains his absence from the player list for this game.

The 11th start of the Racing Club in Strasbourg for this match was formalized. It includes Penders as guardian, followed by Hogsberg, Doukuré, Barco, Sarr, Amougou, Luis, Lemaréchal, Ouattara, Moreira and Panichelli. This match represents the last engagement before a short international truce and the reception of Le Havre in fifteen days at the Stade de la Meinau.
