Julio Enciso runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A debut Enzo Mbangue Mbom will not forget — 7.29
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.29 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.
Match26 Sep 2026
Diego Moreira wins it after the whistle should have gone
96 minutes played. Diego Moreira found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and AJ Auxerre went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

RC Strasbourg may not be able to give Joaquín Panichelli what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Joaquín Panichelli wants continental football; whether RC Strasbourg can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Tempers go at RC Strasbourg
Ben Chilwell was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

David Aguy is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Match26 Sep 2026
Whatever happens, RC Strasbourg do not lose
6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.
Match26 Sep 2026
RC Strasbourg get the job done against AJ Auxerre
A 2‑1 win over AJ Auxerre, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

RC Strasbourg supporters have found a favourite in Enzo Mbangue Mbom
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 17-year-old it feels ownership of. Enzo Mbangue Mbom has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
