Ligue 1 this season offers often improbable scenarios at the Stade de Reims. But the Reims club would have gone well with that experienced this Sunday in Delaune against Angers. With two major successes earlier in the week, the Marnais dreamed of achieving a historic 9/9. Azor Matusiwa was also close to putting his people on the right track by taking a volley from a corner badly cleared by the visiting defense. But the Angevin keeper was on the path. Visitors who could also have opened the scoring while Stéphane Bahoken intercepted a pass from Predrag rajkovic for Ghislain Konan. But the ball flew right next to the empty goal.
Finally the first part of the tragedy intervenes after half an hour of play. While the match was disputed until then in a good spirit, Johan Hamel decided to distribute several boxes, including two to Valon Berisha. A severe decision that offers the Rémois a difficult end to their period without, however, suffering great dangers
Hugo Ekitiké power 7
Disciplined, the Rémois, still deprived of Oscar Garcia sick, saw a new decision be fatal to them when they returned from the locker room. On a strike at the entrance to the box, Dion Lopy is accused of a hand in the box. And Sofiane Boufal does not pray to convert the offering from the penalty spot. The local reaction is admirable. With pride, the Rémois grow. And if Hugo Ekitike found the post after eliminating the goalkeeper, he managed to convert a penalty following a foul on Thomas foket in the surface. For his 7th goal of the season. He must have been calm, as he had failed his first attempt, finally to be withdrawn.
Tired from a grueling week and one less, the charges of Mickaël D’Amore retreated and ended up giving in logically, after a good Angevin movement concluded by Angelo Fulgini. The changes, late, will not change anything, Reims tilts at home despite good values of self-sacrifice. A defeat that will have to be quickly evacuated on Saturday against Saint-Etienne whose coach, Claude Puel, was dismissed.
