TOPS:
Sparkling Ekitike
The top scorer in Rémois shone again this evening.
Very comfortable technically (like her "sombrero" in pigeon wing in the 80th), generous, intelligent in her positioning, the young nugget of the Stade de Reims is at the origin of the two goals of her team. .
It is he who provokes, with experience, the penalty in the first half, and he is passing on the second goal, scored by Mbuku, at the very end of the game.
Thanks to his good vision of the game, he created many actions, often spreading on the wing to transplant to the center.
Hugo Ekitike confirms his very good start to the season and the revelation status of this season in Ligue 1, which many grant him.

Flips, the crossover machine
Very good match from Flips, who hurt Saint-Etienne in his right lane.
Very present in the Rémoises counter-attacks, Flips gave us great sequences and great combinations with his midfielders.
He stifled the Greens with his multitude of crosses halfway up, and could have taken the penalty in the 22nd, before leaving it to Touré.
FLOPS
Bouanga sees red
One of the factors of ASSE's rout this evening was the stupid exclusion, just before half-time, of one of the best assets of the Greens, Denis Bouanga. While he had delivered, like his entire team, a very poor performance in the first half (ASSE was dominated in the first period) the Gabonese striker was excluded in the 45th, after a gesture of mood on Kebbal, behind the referee's back. In addition to not having created any danger on the Rémoise defense, Bouanga handicapped his team, which sank late in the match. Khazri, his captain underlined the bad gesture of his teammate, believing that he should be "more mature".
Gabriel Silva, the losing bet
It was the surprise of the composition of the Greens tonight in Reims, aligned on the right side of the defense by Julien Sablé (interim ASSE coach), Gabriel Silva was completely overwhelmed in his corridor.
Right side by trade, he had not played with the Greens for more than a month and was not at all up to his opponents in the evening.
Konan's numerous forays into his lane got the better of him since he was replaced in the 54th by Yvann Maçon, who did not do much better.
