Ajaccio's hopes of survival in the relegation zone were put under further pressure as they lost the game, leaving them just one point clear of the drop zone with only four matches remaining in the season.

The victory for Strasbourg was achieved thanks to goals from both Lionel Messi and Jonathan Ikoné, who scored twice respectively. Messi's goal came in the second half after he had received a pass from Ikoné, who then took advantage of his defender's mistake to shoot past the Ajaccio goalkeeper.
