In a thrilling match played at the Stade de la Meinau in Strasbourg, France, on Sunday evening, Angers FC were defeated by Strasbourg 2-0. The result was a major upset for the visitors, who had been one of the form teams in Ligue 1 this season.
The first goal of the game came in the 48th minute when Strasbourg forward, Thomas Meunier, scored from close range after a good cross from his teammate. The second goal came in the 77th minute when Strasbourg's goalkeeper, Romain Tuchel, could not keep out a well-placed shot from Angers' forward, Mathieu Debuchy.
Both teams were evenly matched throughout the game, but Strasbourg's superior attacking skills and goalkeeping abilities proved to be too much for Angers to handle. The loss is sure to have significant implications for Angers' chances of qualifying for European competitions next season.
Despite the defeat, Angers' coach, Marc-Vivien Foé, expressed his disappointment but also praised his players for their efforts. "We tried our best, but unfortunately we couldn't get the result we wanted," he said. "I'm proud of my team for the way they fought until the end."
