Luka Elsner did not miss his reunion with his former club. In a venue that he knows by heart, at the Océane stadium, the Stade de Reims coach had a suppressed smile this Sunday after the match. The fact is that now on the visiting bench, he has not helped Norman’s affairs. No matter, the main thing was elsewhere. Because after three defeats in a row with his team, Luka Elsner and the Rémois had to react so as not to plunge into doubt. In Le Havre, therefore, the Rouge et Blanc reacted well.
From the outset, the Rémois were heading in the right direction. Except for the first five minutes where Emmanuel Agbadou quickly got booked and will be after the break. On the following action, Yevhann Diouf had to be vigilant in front of Emmanuel Sabbi. Five difficult minutes before Reims reacted. If it took a nice intervention from Desmas to prevent Aurélio Buta from opening the scoring with a nice left shot at the edge of the area. Efficient, the Rémois were finally quickly rewarded by the opener of the score from Oumar Diakité, who took a ball pushed back by the goalkeeper. Six minutes later, Keito Nakamura added a second goal which stunned the entire Normandy stadium.
first clean sheet of the season
Failing to offer a flamboyant game, the Rémois reassured themselves by returning to the locker room with a comfortable lead. A lead consolidated just before the hour mark by Junya Ito, playing on the surface while Oumar Diakité, left alone on the edge of offside, missed his face to face. Against Le Havre who were disoriented and almost resigned, without their coach excluded in the first half, Stade de Reims could have made the score even worse. But neither Amine Salama nor Junya Ito managed to score additional goals. No matter, the main thing was elsewhere. Before this break, the Rémois got their heads back together with another victory and a first match without conceding a goal. They now hope to finish 2024 as best as possible.
