The French football league saw some exciting matches on Saturday as Clermont FC secured their place in the Europa League by defeating Strasbourg in round 36 of the Ligue 1 season. The match was played at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard and was watched by a capacity crowd.
Strasbourg had been struggling to find form this season, having only won two out of their previous ten games. However, they were determined not to let Clermont FC take advantage of their defeat in the previous round against Lyon. They started the game with a strong defensive approach, limiting the chances for Clermont FC to score.
However, the home team eventually found a way through and took the lead in the 52nd minute when striker Adama Traoré scored from close range. This gave them the confidence to push forward and create more opportunities. In the 87th minute, they doubled their lead when defender Rémi Bousquet headed in a cross from his own half.
Despite Strasbourg's efforts to come back into the game, Clermont FC held firm and secured a well-deserved victory. This result means that they will be able to avoid relegation and play in the Champions League next season. It also gives them a fighting chance of finishing in the top half of the table, which would mean a promotion spot for next season.
Overall, it was a great performance from Clermont FC who showed their resilience and determination throughout the match. Their victory is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it sets them up for success in the future.
