After their humiliating 0-4 defeat at the hands of the championship leaders Lyon, Strasbourg achieved a good result by holding AS Monaco to a 1-1 draw.

Both goals came in the 2nd half. Monaco scored first in the 73rd minute through Kapo who headed the ball home into the far corner after a cross from the right wing. Strasbourg replied just a minute later through Kante who scored from another fine header. This time the goal came through a corner kick from the left wing which was swung high into the area o find Kante who jumped high and powered a header into the roof of the net to level the score once again.

In the last minutes of the game, Strasbourg were the better side and created a few real chances through Diane who almost scored the winning goal but was denied by the post.

Despite the good result, Strasbourg are still rock bottom in the table and they need to find victories soon or they will end the season in the relegation zone.


It should be noted that Hosni Abd Rabboh missed the match because of ACN preparations while the new signing Ahmed Abo Mosallam didn't feature as he didn't train enough with the rest of the squad.
