The Stade de Reims sinks Saint-Etienne (2-0) and gives air in the standings

In a family and friendly atmosphere, the Stade de Reims offered a nice Christmas present in advance to its supporters. Faced with a sick team and good last in the standings, the Rémois first surprised their evening visitor by lining up a team in a device 5 behind despite the absence for suspension of Yunis Abdelhamid. Despite good intentions, the Stéphanois were embarrassed by the Reims pressing. What to recover several balloons and to project quickly in the opposing camp.

In this game, Alexis Flips has several opportunities to put the ball in the box without the centers finding takers. And if the opportunities are not clear, the technical skill, like the one-two between Hugo Ekitiké and Ilan Kebbal pleased the audience of Delaune. Finally the Rémois were rewarded after 20 minutes of play, when Ekitiké, again, caused the fault of the opposing goalkeeper in the box. It is finally El Bilal Toure which transforms him by scoring his first goal of the season (22nd).

Flips and Ekitiké in all the shots

Not satisfied, the Rémois continue their domination until pushing the Greens to the fault just before the break. With a gesture of humor, Denis Bouanga sees red and leaves the Greens to one less. Already very pale, the Stéphanois offered no shot on target. And the rare set pieces did not pose any real danger to Predrag rajkovic. Dominators, the Rémois will have several times the opportunity to take shelter. It was finally necessary to wait for the last minute so that Nathanaël Mbuku, ideally served by Hugo Ekitike score the winning goal. A third success at home this time, which allows to count 10pts ahead of the relegation zone. A great dynamic to be confirmed in the Coupe de France next Sunday, before a last trip to Marseille before the break.
