Red Star reduces the score by scoring a goal
Solid defensively, the Castelroussins face the Parisian suburbs, but they end up cracking. Habib Beye’s players do not panic and play a pleasant game, focused on the offensive. A strategy that ends up being rewarded. Pape Ba reduced the score following a nice collective movement, and a heel from Ndoye reduced the gap to 2-1 (40th). Halftime comes with this score of 2 goals to 1.
On returning from the locker room, the pace is still just as high. The meeting is still as pleasant, despite the rain and the gusts of wind. The opportunities succeed on both sides, but the score does not change. Mathieu Chabert then decides to take out Mehdi Beneddine and bring in Bendjaloud Youssouf. On a direct corner, the latter gives air to his team and brings the score to 3-1, in the 63rd minute.
The Blues and Reds have fun and Thomas Robinet scores his 17th goal of the season. He is again the top scorer in the championship. He achieves a double following a good collective work.
