The communion between the supporters and the Red Star players lasted much longer than usual, just to prolong these moments to the end which will certainly remain engraved in their memory.
The party was beautiful. For the last, before its reconstruction, of the historic west stand which was built in 1922, the Red Star players rose to the occasion, offering their audience a successful performance and a 7th victory in 7 matches at the Bauer stadium against Nîmes (2-0).
After his defeat in Dijon (3-1) and his elimination in the Coupe de France against Châteauroux (2-1), the National leader resumed his march forward. It is eight points ahead of Niort (which plays against Martigues) and 9 over Villefranche.
If Nîmes did not experience the same nightmare as three weeks ago against Versailles at Jean-Bouin (6-0 defeat, two reds), the Red Star, certainly carried by the fiery atmosphere, achieved a crazy start… After a beautiful entry strike from Dimitri Durand (2nd), a brilliant backheel from Merwan Ifnaoui allows Achille Anani to score his 5th goal this season.
After a complicated first season (1 goal in 11 matches played) at Red Star, the 28-year-old striker regained his effectiveness of a few years ago with Grenoble or Bourg-en-Bresse. While last season’s revelation Jovany Ikanga, not 100%, was not retained once again in the group, Red Star will perhaps finally be able to rely on a professional center forward.
The Red Star was several times very close to giving more brilliance to its success, notably on a double attempt from Benali and Anani (58th) then a curling shot from Ryad Hachem on the bar (78th) and a goal refused to Ivan Botella.
