On Saturday evening, the battle between Clermont and Strasbourg in the Ligue 1 league was a thrilling affair that saw Clermont emerge victorious, maintaining their relegation hopes with a 2-1 victory.

The match began with both teams displaying great defensive solidity as they tried to secure a clean sheet. However, it wasn't long before Clermont broke through and took the lead in the 45th minute through a well-taken goal from midfielder Maxime Revol.

Strasbourg responded strongly in the second half, creating several chances to equalize. But, it was Clermont who scored again just three minutes later, this time courtesy of a powerful header from defender Yannick Bolasie.
