The longest winless run in Ligue 1 continued as RC Strasbourg Alsace drew against Stade Brestois (1-1) in a rearranged fixture at the Stade Francis-Le Blé on Thursday night.
The fixture had initially been scheduled to take place in November, however, after heavy storms hit Brest’s stadium, the game had to be postponed whilst repairs took place. Eric Roy’s side have won their last three, however, it was Strasbourg, who haven’t won since beating local rivals FC Metz in late September, who worked the first big chance of the game. However, put through on goal, Lebo Mothiba couldn’t beat Marco Bizot in the Brest goal.
Just before half-time, Bres struck through Jérémy Le Douaron, who beat Strasbourg’s Matz Sels at his near-post. Mathias Pereira Lage then had a glorious chance to secure the three points, but unmarked and unpressured eight yards out, he headed wide.
Brest would be punished for that miss. Substitute Emanuel Emegha tapped in a ball across goal to level the scores and secure Patrick Vieira’s side a point. Strasbourg are, however, without a win in their last nine games and are just two points above the bottom three. Brest, meanwhile, remain seventh in Ligue 1.
