Ludovic Ajorque wearing Strasbourg
Traveling with a Metz team very weakened by the CAN and relegation, Strasbourg was serious (0-2). Less flamboyant than usual, the Alsatian attack was carried by Ludovic Ajorque, scorer then passer in this derby from the East. Even orphan of his friend Habib Diallo, in selection with Senegal, the center forward scored his tenth goal of the season. Enough to restore the victory to Racing, back two points from 4th place with one game less.

Reims still at half mast
If the Ligue 1 offers a quality show every weekend, Reims has decided to stand apart. In Clermont, the Champenois conceded a fourth 0-0 this season. The exercise dunce is now involved in nearly half of the league’s nine goalless draws since August. Reims, 16th attack, was certainly deprived of its top scorer Ekitike, but his quack in a promoted reduced to 10 since the 13th minute remains a poor performance. Frustrating for the Rémois, 5th defense but only 14th of the elite.
