Brest-Strasbourg: Dion wakes up Racing, Martin does not forget Lees-Melou... The tops and the flops

TOPS

While Strasbourg was heading towards a defeat without panache against Brest, the evening jokers shook the coconut tree. Especially Angelo, who replaced Dilane Bakwa (70th), and Moïse Sahi Dion, replacing Kévin Gameiro (79th). The speed of the two players disrupted the Brest defense, caught behind the goal of Emanuel Emegha (80th), who also came off the bench in the 36th minute (to compensate for Doukouré's injury). A decisive passer, Dion stood out in particular for his power and his desire to hit the ball with his foot. Qualities very little highlighted by the starting eleven of Patrick Vieira, who will be able to be satisfied with effective coaching, which allowed him to bring back a precious point from this trip to Breton soil (1-1).

Without delivering his best match of the season, Romain Del Castillo was once again the most active offensive player on the Brest side. Precise on set pieces, the former Rennais launched a good number of offensives with his left foot even if Jérémy Le Douaron's goal concluded Kamory Doumbia's work. The number 10 of the Finisterians, efficient in his dribbling and not stingy with his efforts, nevertheless slowed down in the second half, until his exit in favor of Bilal Brahimi.

FLOPS

The main absentee of the evening, Pierre Lees-Melou, was sorely missed in the Brest midfield. And Jonas Martin, his replacement in the eleven, really suffered from the comparison. Alongside Hugo Magnetti, the ex-LOSC player was too discreet in the construction of the game and invisible on the offensive level. Before the meeting, Eric Roy had played down the absence of Lees-Melou. Without him, the face of the Brestois is still less dashing.

Certainly, the reaction and the point snatched at the end of the game could serve as reasons for hope. Still, Racing has not won a Ligue 1 match since September 24, in Metz (0-1). The Alsatians remain with four defeats and four draws over the last eight days, delivering average, if not worrying, results. Sunday (3 p.m.), Le Havre, competitor announced for maintenance, arrives at Meinau. A crucial meeting for Strasbourg, still looking for a benchmark victory this season.
