The coach has changed, not so much the script. In Lorient this Saturday, in a staggered match of the 11th day of Ligue 1, the Stade de Reims fell back into its failings concerning indiscipline. This time reduced to nine, the Rémois have nevertheless repelled the inclinations of a pale Lorient team, deprived, it is true, of its top scorer, Terem Moffi, who was quickly injured.
As soon as he returned from the locker room, Dion Lopy, with a poorly controlled gesture, was guilty of a fault which earned him a second yellow card. A cute sin that no longer allowed to offer an offensive delicacy that could earn three points. The Reims attack had in any case proved to be very timid before the break, only offering itself a real opportunity through an unhappy Marshall Munetsi at the finish. The Lorientais were not much more inspired without Moffi, quickly released after injuring his ankle. Only the restless Danga Ouattara gave a few scares to Yevhann Diouf, impeccable from start to finish.
8 expulsions in 11 games
The exclusion of Dion Lopy and the injury of Marshall Munetsi left a destitute midfield where only Azor Matusiwa filled the gaps somehow. Reims retreated without panicking. And Lorient did not take advantage of it. Better, the Rémois, via Arber Zeneli and especially Folarin Balogun were close to opening the scoring. But as the end of the match approached, the Bretons increased the pressure. And on a final action, Emmanuel Agbadou came out inappropriately. Enough to be worth a direct red card. At nine, the Rémois resisted a few more moments to take a new point in the standings. The ninth this season. It’s barely more than the number of red cards the team has taken.
