In a thrilling match at the Stade de la Licorne in Strasbourg, Strasbourg emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over Ajaccio. The result was a significant blow to Ajaccio's hopes of survival in Ligue 1.
Strasbourg's victory came thanks to a goal from substitute Maxime Lopez in the 88th minute. The French side had dominated much of the game and were unlucky not to have won by more than one goal.
Ajaccio, on the other hand, found themselves struggling to keep up with Strasbourg's pace. They were unable to create any clear-cut opportunities and were ultimately punished for their lack of clinical finishing.
The defeat means that Ajaccio now finds itself in serious danger of being relegated to Ligue 2 next season. With just six games remaining, they will need to win all of them if they are to avoid the drop.
For Strasbourg, the victory was a timely boost as they look to build on their recent form. They currently sit in second place in the table and are only four points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Overall, it was a disappointing night for Ajaccio, who were eliminated from European football for the first time since 2017. But they can take heart from the fact that they still have a chance of avoiding relegation and fighting back against the odds.
As for Strasbourg, they will be hoping to continue their winning ways and push towards the top of the table. It will be a tough task, but with their experienced players and strong squad, there is no reason why they cannot achieve their goals this season.
