Some will take up the adage that says that you miss a being and everything is depopulated. Suspended this Sunday, Hugo Ekitiké may have missed his teammates to force the difference in Clermont during the first meeting of the return phase of Ligue 1. But perhaps he would also have experienced the same difficulties as N’dri Koffi Where Nathanael Mbuku to be served as a goal ball. And yet the scenario which presented itself to the Rémois seemed favorable. After only 13 minutes, N’dri Koffi on one of his rare exploitable balloons, went deep, but was stopped irregularly by Alidu Seidu. Mr. Batta did not hesitate to issue the red card.
At 11 against 10, the Rémois did not finally find the solution. This is due to a lot of clumsiness. And alone Alexis flips, ideally served by Martin Adeline, managed to create space in the opponent’s area. But all alone against the goalkeeper, he did not frame his shot (28th), whileIlan Kebbal saw his shot blocked in extremis a quarter from the end.
Rajkovic, mention very well
Worse, the construction was so difficult for the Rémois that the attackers, including despite the changes, did not manage to approach the Clermont area. What to offer the goalkeeper Ouparine Djoco a generally quiet afternoon, quite the opposite of Predrag rajkovic. Already alerted at the start of the match against Pierre-Yves Hamel, the Reims goalkeeper will have been vigilant and firm to avoid disappointment. The Stade de Reims will also thank him after the hour mark when he turned his foot away from another Auvergne attempt. Hamel and Dossou also clumsy, the two teams parted back to back after a rough match. It will take more skill and pace in a week at Delaune, to get the story of Metz better.
