18-year-old midfielder Amadou Koné was sent off just before half-time during Reims' defeat against Strasbourg. He became the first substitute to be sent off in the first half in Ligue 1 since Kevin Malcuit with Saint-Etienne against Nantes in September 2016.
Reims, which remains on just one victory in the last six matches, is not doing a good job in the race for Europe and is four points behind Nice, fifth, which has one game less. For its part, Strasbourg is breathing and has practically ensured its maintenance with ten points ahead of the Lorient play-off. Sahi Dion sealed the score at the end of the match (90+3rd) with a header from a free kick. The Rémois suffered the blow at 10 against 11 and are now on 10 points from a possible 11. The Strasbourg reaction team, who equalized on a penalty from Kévin Gameiro before the break (44th), then took the lead thanks to a nice diving header from Sylla (50th)
