The matches follow each other and resemble each other, except for a few details. Except that these details rarely plead in favor of the Rémois. In Troyes this Sunday afternoon, the players of the Stade de Reims had nevertheless put together the ingredients to leave Aube with three points. But as too often since the start of the season. The second half offered an improbable scenario which is expensive for the Marnais.
Everything started however ideally for the Rémois. If the Trojans held possession of the ball, Reims showed clinical efficiency. On his first action, Andrew Gravel launched Junya Ito in the right lane. His center found Folarin Balogun whose recovery at close range hit home (13th). Unstoppable. Stunned, the Aubois struggled to react. If they camped most of the time in the Reims camp, they struggled to be really dangerous. Once only, Yevhann Diouf, again in goal, had to intervene. At the break, the Rémois led logically.
6th time that the Rémois finish at ten in 9 games
But it is written that the second halves were to offer a spectacle of always cruel drama for the Stade de Reims. Returning with better intentions, the Trojans accelerated. But it was on a stupid mistake by Yevhann Diouf, who pushed his ball too far that the Aubois would equalize. No time to procrastinate, the Rémois reacted immediately. And it’s a center ofAlexis Flips, Junya Ito emerged from a furious recovery to restore the advantage to his team.
The Japanese’s joy was also short-lived. Moments later, he completely unpinned, sending his right crampon to Jackson Porozo’s knee. The sanction is logical: red card! An exclusion which forced the Red and Whites to play for the sixth time in numerical inferiority in nine games. By resisting, the people of Reims grew tired. And Yevhann Diouf caught up with his ball by several important stops. But what had to happen happened. As the clock entered stoppage time, Jackson Porozo managed to regain a ball on the edge of offside to equalise. Cruel, once again. However, the Rémois stretch the stick to be beaten. The accumulated errors were still fatal. And it is not against Paris, next Saturday, that the Stade de Reims can hope to imagine finally taking three points.
