In difficult conditions, Strasbourg did the job. Against Valenciennes, 17th in Ligue 2, Julien Stéphan’s team contented themselves with the minimum (1-0) to validate their ticket for the knockout stages of the Coupe de France.
Diallo, one of the Alsatians’ spearheads in Ligue 1 (8 goals), cleared the mark from close on a Thomasson cross.
Strasbourg then generally mastered the match but did not know how to take cover and sometimes trembled on northern offensives.
Head in the fog
But to follow the meeting, you had to have a keen eye. A thick fog had invaded the Hainaut stadium before the match and the first half was particularly difficult to watch, whether on TV or from the stands.

The referee however did not find fault there since the kick-off was given on time and that there was never any postponement mentioned.
Visibility improved slightly in the second half but without seeing a completely clear pitch, a rare situation at the professional level.
