“An evening terribly empty of everything”, Elsner’s cold anger after the Reims defeat
Luka Elsner wore the face of (very) bad evenings after the defeat of Stade de Reims against Lens (2-0), Friday, at the opening of the 13th day of Ligue 1. He admitted to having experienced one of the worst evenings throughout his coaching career.
>> Elsner's cold anger after the Reims defeat
IT'S FINISHED!! Lens wins in Reims!
A week after their defeat against Marseille (1-3), the Sang et Or relaunched by winning without too much trembling in Reims (0-2). The Lensois move up to sixth place, while the Rémois move to ninth. Thank you for following this live, have a good evening!
Oh Medina's long shot!
Not attacked, the Argentinian tries his shot from 25 meters and it goes just over!
Four minutes of added time
Lens is not very far from its fifth victory of the season.
Reims no longer really believes in it
The Rémois hold the ball but there is not a thunderous spirit of revolt.
Nzola exit
Scorer this evening, he replaced by Chavez.
The opportunity to see Moscardo at work
Loaned to Reims by PSG, the Brazilian has so far only played one minute in Ligue 1. It was last week against OL (1-1).
Moscardo and Salama starters
They replace Munetsi and Diakité.
Double change on the Lensois side
Fulgini and Zaroury are replaced by Ojediran and Machado.
SAMBA INTERPOSES IN FRONT OF HIM!
The Japanese goes alone on the counter after a Lensois corner and comes face to face with Samba but his shot does not deceive the French goalkeeper!
Entrance to Sotoca
He replaces Labeau Lascary.
The Corons resound in Delaune!
The Lensois park is on fire and resumes its famous song. Under the applause of certain Reims supporters.
Triple change for Reims
Atangana, Teuma and Nakamura are replaced by Diakhon, Koné and Fofana.
The Rémois stunned
The locals were unable to equalize after returning from the locker room and were punished in transition. Reims takes the blame!
NZOLA CATCHES UP!! 0-2 FOR LENS!!
He won't have procrastinated for long! Well found in the area by Fulgini, he takes the ball nicely then plays Buta and Kipre, before adjusting Diouf closely. That’s the goal of the KO!
WHAT A NZOLA FAIL!!!
Huge work from Danso who recovers the ball very high and launches Nzola, absolutely alone against Diouf! But the attacker can't even get the shot on target. It's incredible!
Diouf decisive!!
The Reims goalkeeper gets ahead of Labeau Lascary, who went alone on goal, then prevents Nzola from taking advantage of his long-range exit to give the Lensois two goals in advance!
Gérald Baticle present in the stands
The Espoirs coach attends this meeting.
Here we go again!
Lens has the ball at their feet!
Entrance to El Aynaoui
He replaces Andy Diouf, warned in the first period.
IT’S BREAK!
Lens leads at half-time thanks to a goal from Thomasson. A fairly logical score advantage considering the first half hour. The Rémois dominated the last quarter of an hour but did not crack the artesian lock!
Labeau Lascary comes up against Diouf!
What a tumble from Lensois, who saw his cross shot from the right being repelled by Diouf. He could perhaps have slipped the ball to Nzola, alone behind! This is what the Angolan accuses him of.
Atangana warned
The international Espoir is well behind Medina.
It’s heating up in the Lens area!
The Rémois are approaching more and more dangerously the Samba cage! Nakamura even stumbles against the Lensois goalkeeper!
Akieme doesn't fit!
Good work from Ito on his right side and the Japanese manages to cross towards the far post, where Akieme is. But he can't get his head shot in focus!
New fault from Diouf…
He pushes Atangana on the right side but he is not warned a second time.
It's in the wall…
The Maltese's attempt smashes the wall.
A big hit for Diouf!
Superb breakthrough from Ito who forces Diouf to make a mistake at the edge of the area. Excellent free kick for Reims and Teuma!
A logical goal
This opening score is logical given the start of the game, frankly to the advantage of Lensois. The Rémois will have to show a better face if they want to come back!
THOMASSOOOOON OPENS THE SCORE!!
Lens leads! Reims poorly clears a cross from the right and Thomasson controls his chest at the entrance to the area before sending a nice shot, well placed close to the post, which escapes Diouf! 0-1!
Danso's head!
Good free kick from the left and Danso manages to head back. But it's not powerful enough to fool Diouf.
Fairly calm start for now
If Lens manages to approach the surface, it is rarely dangerous. For their part, the Rémois only showed themselves once, and timidly.
True 4-4-2 for the Lensois
Medina is clearly a left back, while Zaroury plays left midfielder.
Lens gets closer
The Sang et Or are already showing themselves to be offensive and their pressing is putting the locals in difficulty.
Oh Nzola's first attempt!
Launched by Zaroury, Nzola is slightly off-center to the left in the area and cannot sufficiently cross his heavy shot!
HERE WE GO!!!
Reims kicks off this meeting!
The entrance of the 22 actors!
Augutse-Delaune is full!
Lens must bounce back
Beaten by Marseille last weekend (1-3), Lens must win to bounce back while Will Still's men (9th, 17 points) are still looking for consistency. The Sang et Or have not lost against the Rémois (8th, 18 points) since 2019.
The Lens composition
Samba – Khusanov, Danso, Medina – Frankoswki, Thomasson, Diouf, Zaroury – Labeau-Lascary, Fulgini – M'Bala Nzola
The eleven from Reims
Diouf – Buta, Cyprus, Agbadou, Akieme – Atangana, Teuma – Ito, Munetsi, Nakamura – Diakité
Will Still applauded for his return to Reims
Will Still, ex-coach of the Reims stadium, warmly applauded by the few hundred Reims supporters present in the stadium 1h30 before kick-off, notably from Ultrem, the Reims ultras. A few “Will! Will!” Also came down from the stands.
Will Still took the opportunity to shake hands and greet his former players during the field reconnaissance, notably Teddy Teuma and replacement goalkeepers Butelle and Olliero.
