Stade de Reims holds Lyon in check and retains its unbeaten streak (0-0)

One point at home, three away. As surprising as it may seem, this is the rhythm that the Stade de Reims has been imposing on itself for a month. Facing Lyon, this Sunday in Delaune, the Marnais club confirmed the trend. The Rémois had however started the meeting with a beating drum. With heavy pressure on the opposing ball carrier, the Rémois prevented the exit of Lyonnais embarrassed at the restart. Not enough to create real opportunities. Conversely, it was close to the Rhôdaniens opening the scoring on their first opportunity. After a nice collective movement, Malo Gusto is shifted to the right side. His cross finds Houssem Aouar whose point-blank recovery is only pushed back in extremis by Maxime Busi. Something to wake up the Lyonnais. Technically more accurate, the visitors take possession of the ball, and the Rémois seem to be on the verge of breaking. But like a Wout Faes imperial, the Rémois remain solid. The last minutes of the first half are more balanced. And if yunis abdelhamid and Ilan Kebbal proved dangerous in the area, the Rhone defense remained vigilant.

Lyon’s domination intensified further on returning from the locker room, until it seriously disrupted the local defense. On a long streak, Moussa Dembélé, left alone at the far post by a speedy defense, saw his recovery pushed back by the post. A few minutes later, Karl Toko-Ekambi was no more skilful. Inefficient, the Lyonnais would then fall into their traps. And Reims will have some regrets for not having been able to take advantage of it. From the hour of play, the Rémois played higher. Perhaps worn out by Thursday’s match in the Europa League, the visitors are fading. And it takes little Fraser Hornby does not take over a center of Ghislain Konan (64th). At the end of the match, a final last stand by Houssem Aouar was again repelled by a superb save by Predrag Rajkovic. No goal therefore, and one more point to bring the club even closer to maintenance. What to prepare the derby in Troyes with serenity in two weeks.
