Balogun touches the bar!
Launched into the area, Folarin Balogun tries to cross with his left foot but it turns into a shot and the ball hits the crossbar!
Salts stay alert
Flips takes a free kick from 25 meters but Sels puts his fists to clear the attempt!
10 more minutes to play
There are about ten minutes left to play, counting the additional time! Strasbourg holds its victory!
Reims is getting closer
Reims continues to revolve around the Strasbourg area without managing to shoot on goal! The Racing defense holds the shock!
Salts ends up on the ground
Matz Sels remains on the ground, visibly injured in the ankle after an outing on Ito! The Belgian goalkeeper asks for the magic bomb.
WHAT A MONSTROUS ARREST OF SALTS!
Cross from Abdelhamid at the far post for Ito who emerges and puts the flat foot! Sels folds very quickly and removes the ball with your fingertips!
Diallo puts the pressure on
Launched in depth, Diallo puts pressure on Abdelhamid who is the first to recover the ball! The attacker even commits a fault!
Huge period of change
For 10 minutes, we had the right to the traditional sequence of changes, it broke the game.
Perrin’s head passes overhead
Corner for Strasbourg and Lucas Perrin slams his head which passes over Diouf’s goals!
Gameiro also comes into play
It’s Kevin Gameiro’s turn to enter the game in place of Diarra! This is the third change for Strasbourg.
Strasbourg is not in management
Racing plays good football and wants to drive the point home so as not to give Reims hope. No management, just football!
Double change for Racing
Dagba and Sissoko comes into play instead of Guilbert and Bellegarde!
Reims want to reduce the score
Reims started the second period in a good way by putting intensity and aggressiveness!
STRASBOURG PERFORMS IN REIMS!
It’s the break ! Little sensation in Auguste-Delaune with Strasbourg leading 2-0 against Reims thanks to a double from Habib Diallo. A goal at 16th second of play and a goal before the break will have got the better of voluntary but too unrealistic Rémois. The Diarra-Diallo duo is on cloud nine.
Reims shot down
Difficult for Reims who has just conceded a second goal when he was the most dangerous. Will Still will have to find the solutions at the break.
Strasbourg leaves the red zone
Thanks to Habib Diallo’s double, Strasbourg leaves the red zone and finds itself in 15th place. We must hold on now!
DOUUUUBLÉ FOR DIALLO!
But what an extraordinary match, it goes from all sides! Another big job from Diarra who takes over the defense, dribble two players and offer a caviar to Diallo! The Strasbourg striker deceives Diouf on the contrary!
BALOOOOGUN FOR PURPOSE… REFUSED!
Folarin Balogun thought of equalizing on a center back from Ito but the Japanese was in an offside position. Nothing to say !
HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR DIALLO!
Habib Diallo misses the double after a great counter-attack and a magnificent pass from Diarra! At the entrance to the surface, he tries to roll up but it grazes the post!
Diouf deflects a shot for a corner!
Good cross from Guilbert towards Diallo but he can’t manage to regain his head! Sanson recovers and wraps the ball before Diouf deflects for a corner!
increasingly dangerous Balogun
Big overflow from Ito who crosses at the first post for Balogun who arises! He can’t hit the goal and it will be a six-yarder!
Busi cuts Diarra
Left against, Diarra temporizes with a hook behind the leg but he is cut by Busi.
BALOGUN HEATS SALTS!
Free kick for Reims at the entrance to the area and Balogun will take it. The attacker rushes, passes the wall and forces Sels to a good stop!
Big fault and yellow for Djiku
Huge body work from Balogun who goes deep thanks to Munetsi but Djiku comes to pull his jersey! Yellow card, he got the Strasbourg defender hot.
LOPY IS ABOVE!
Super overflow from Van Bergen and very powerful cross at the near post! Sanson bothers Munetsi but the ball comes back in the middle. Lopy takes the shot but it’s over!
Diarra turns on his friend Diallo
Ball messed up in the area and Diarra tries a powerful volley that Diallo receives in the head! Too bad for Strasbourg.
Yellow card for Lopy
First yellow card of the match for Lopy after a jersey draw on Diarra who went against! Ludovic Turpin did not hesitate!
Van Bergen very dangerous
Superb opening from Lopy towards Van Bergen who turns around quickly! His shot is deflected and it will be a corner! It was very hot.
Reims has the ball
Showered from the start of the match, Reims put their foot back on the ball but the Strasbourg defense is sliding well.
Big contact in the air
Duel in the air between Guilbert and Busi and the Strasbourg side remains on the ground, hit in the shoulder. The doctors intervene!
Will Still n’a plus le mojo
Reims have not won any of their last 2 Ligue 1 home games (1-2 v Marseille, 1-1 v Brest), a first under Will Still. It is also the first time since the arrival of the Belgian that the Champenois have chained 3 receptions without a clean sheet in the elite.
It’s heating up in front of Sels’ goal
Very bad release from Sels and Busi thinks to take advantage of it but Djiku releases in disaster!
18 seconds for a goal!
It took 18 seconds of play for Strasbourg and Diallo to score the first goal of the match.
Expected reaction for Reims
Showered after a few seconds of play, Reims will have to get back to the place and put their foot on the ball.
THE STRASBOURG BUUUUT… AWARDED TO THE VAR!
Huge alert in front of the Reims goal! Diarra recovers a ball in the opposing camp and sends a perfect center on Diallo! The head of the Strasbourg striker deceives Diouf… but it is refused for an offside at the start… BEFORE BEING AWARDED! 1 TO 0 FOR STRASBOURG!
The setback for Reims?
Reims have lost 2 of their last 4 Ligue 1 matches (1 win, 1 draw), after remaining unbeaten in their previous 19 (9 wins, 10 draws).
