Olympique Lyonnais can consider themselves lucky to take a point at the Auguste-Delaune stadium (1-1).
Dominated in the duels and without a solution in attack, Peter Bosz's men took 86 minutes to find the net, well helped it must be said by a somewhat severe red card distributed to Lopy (63rd minute).
OL leave Reims with a draw and a lot of questions...

The entries of Dembele and Cherki decisive
The passer for the striker... Injured, Moussa Dembele had not been part of the group since the start of the season.
While many rumors sent the Lyon striker away from OL, the latter wanted to stay until the end of his contract (June 2023) before going free.
A paying choice since Moussa Dembele distinguished himself for his big comeback in Ligue 1. The Frenchman scored, with an angry header, the equalizing goal this Sunday against Stade de Reims.
At the start of the action, it was Rayan Cherki who recovered the ball from Locko's feet before crossing for the future hero of Les Gones.
Paid coaching.
Junya Ito makes a successful debut
For his first tenure in Ligue 1, the Japanese undermined the Lyon defense this Sunday.
Lively and strong on his support, the former player of Genk (Belgium) scored the only Reims goal of the day on a superb crossed header.
However, he will have paid Lopy's red card by giving way to Agbadou in the 67th minute.
Lepenant, the best Lyonnais
The 19-year-old midfielder was one of the only OL players to play a full game.
Holder for the third time in three matches, the former player of Caen put physical impact in his game, recovered an incalculable number of balls and directed the offensives of Gones.
Another good personal performance from Johann Lepenant.
FLOPS
Jeff Reine-Adelaide misses his comeback
Injured since the resumption of Ligue 1, the 24-year-old midfielder made his comeback in the OL eleven this Sunday, taking advantage of the departure of Lucas Paqueta.
Unfortunately for him, his reunion with the elite did not go as planned... Dominated in the duels, not always fair in these forward passes, Reine-Adelaide will have to forget this poor performance.
He was replaced at the break by Caqueret.
Lacazette remains silent
“The General” will have lacked authority.
Alexandre Lacazette was perfectly contained by the Reims defense this Sunday.
Very rarely found, the Lyon striker could never worry Pentz, the doorman of Reims.
Lacazette remained on two goals and an assist in two matches, this time his performance was much less good.
More generally, the whole Lyon attack was a flop this Sunday.
