Man of the match: Ajorque (8): Great performance for the Racing player. Omnipresent in the last thirty-five opposing meters, it will have been a real poison for the Stéphane defense. On the goal against his camp Youssouf, the French striker was targeted and his call to commit the tackle of the Stéphanois who propelled the ball into his nets. Subsequently, he scored his team’s fourth goal in the second half and left to applause from Meinau. Replaced by Diallo. 10 small minutes of play for the latter and a sublime goal in an opposing defense to absent subscribers.
Starsbourg: 5-3-2
Salts (5): Caught on the wrong foot on Khazri’s penalty, the Belgian goalkeeper lived a peaceful afternoon.
Guilbert (7): With a very good passing quality, he delivered an assist on the opening scoring of Le Marchand thanks to a very good corner. Defensively, he managed to stop Bouanga on several occasions.
Perrin (5.5): Jostled by the Stéphanois attackers in the first period, he suffered but was able to count on the help of his partners.
Nyamsi (6): Correct match with ease in his interventions.
The Merchant (7): Head scorer, the defender of Racing had launched perfectly well this beautiful afternoon. However, he made a mistake as the last defender in his own area and allowed Saint-Etienne to return to 2-1. Then, he had a good second period with presence in the duels.
Caci (6.5): He was able to channel Nordin’s acceleration and was able to participate in the second period in his club’s offensives.
Sissoko (8): A high class match for the latter. Author of two assists, he dominated the opposing midfielder and distributed caviar on caviar. Replaced by Diarra.
Aholou (5): A mixed match with a lot of technical waste for the former Stéphanois. Replaced by Prcić.
Liénard (5.5): The Racing legend has remained rather discreet today by not putting the opposing defense in danger. Replaced by Bellegarde.
Ajorque: see above.
Gameiro (7.5): Always mobile, the French striker was unsuccessful in the first half with a situation in which he thought he had obtained a penalty. Despite everything, he did not relax his efforts and twenty minutes from the end of this game, he scored a goal ready for 3-1. Replaced by Kandil.
ASSE: 4-2-3-1
Green (not rated): The English goalkeeper could not do anything on the first two goals of Racing and will come out even under concussion protocol following a blow to the head by one of his teammates. Replaced by Bajic (5.5). Despite several exceptional saves, he got the ball three times in his nets, not really helped by his defense.
Camara (5): Again starting as a side, the captain of the Greens is at fault on the first opposing goal where he loses his aerial duel against Le Marchand.
Moukoudi (3): He was elsewhere. Caught up in speed, dominated in duels, and even nonchalant at times, the defender of the Greens did not respond.
Nadé (5): He could not count on the help of his defense partners today and had to step up efforts. Unfortunately, he often found himself in a position of inferiority.
Kolodziejczak (4): Overtaken on his side, the French defender took to the water more than once during this meeting. He comes out with an injury. Replaced by Dieye.
Youssouf (2): Catastrophic! A goal against his own camp and a red card all this in 44 minutes of play …
Neyou (5): Dominated in the middle by an incredible Sissoko, the Cameroonian has tried everything, in vain. Replaced by Krasso.
Nordin (5): Provocative in his lane, he gets a penalty (transformed by Khazri) in added time of the first period. Replaced by Gourna (5). His entry into play did not change the face of the meeting.
Boudebouz (6): Omnipresent in the Saint-Etienne game, the most capped Algerian in the history of Ligue 1 has achieved great things thanks to his technical quality. Replaced by Aouchiche.
Bouanga (5.5): Despite a large number of balls hit and an activity that did not stop, the Gabonese never managed to get into a striking position.
Khazri (6): As always, he responded present. In the first period, he was able to pose problems to the opposing defense like his madjer stopped by Sels. He will put Sainté back in the match with his converted penalty. Replaced by Hamouma.
