Estac Troyes vs Strasbourg
Strasbourg storm back for emphatic win
A six-goal salvo overturns early deficit at Estac Troyes.
Estac Troyes started brightly with A. Mille's early strike, but Strasbourg responded with a relentless barrage, led by S. Amo-Ameyaw's brace and goals from J. Ortega, Diogo Sousa, G. Reyna, and C. Harder. The visitors' dominance after the break turned the game decisively in their favour, sealing a 6-2 victory. Fipster's low-confidence prediction of an away win was on the money, though the scale of Strasbourg's triumph was beyond expectations.
