Stade de Reims and Luka Elsner scare each other against a team of… D1 ACFF in a friendly match – All football

The international break gives clubs the opportunity to play friendly matches with other players, in order to test certain adjustments for the resumption of the championship, distribute playing time and give breathing space to non-selected executives.

This is often the opportunity for clubs at a lower level to measure themselves against a benchmark, or, at least, against a much superior team on paper. This was the case for Olympic Charleroi this Wednesday.

The Olympic held their own in Reims

The Mastiffs went to France to compete against Stade de Reims, currently seventh in Ligue 1. The Rémois coach, a certain Luka Elsner, of course rotated a squad which however informed a certain number of players on the team first. The opportunity also for two Belgians lacking playing time to receive some. Thibault De Smet and Maxime Busi.

In this meeting, Olympic held the lead at the Stade de Reims. At the end of the first period, it was a penalty which allowed the French to open the scoring, via Gabriel Moscardo (1-0, 39th), a Brazilian talent on loan from PSG, who bought him from Corinthians for 20 million euros, last January.

In the second half, it was quite late, once again, that Reims came out of its box to make the break, via Abdoulaye Gory (2-0, 76th), young player from the training center. A great training meeting and a nice dose of experience for the Mastiffs.
