Strasbourg responded well, and their pressure paid off in the 35th minute as their forward capitalized on a defensive error to level the score.
However, Claremont refused to back down and regained the advantage just two minutes into the second half when their midfielder delivered a precise cross that was met by a rising header from a towering striker. Strasbourg’s hopes of equalizing were dashed in the 69th minute when Claremont’s midfielder slot home a low shot from outside the penalty area.
