Reims more united than ever
Yet reduced to 10 for half time and then to 9 at the end of the match, the Reims stadium held out throughout the game and brought back a precious point against Lorient.
The Rémois even proved to be dangerous like Balogun who almost opened the scoring.
The English wrapped his shot but it grazed the left post of Mvogo (71st).
Beyond their sometimes sharp attack, it was the Reims defense that was united and impervious.
An encouraging match for Stade de Reims, which has a second draw after the one against PSG.

Imperial Diouf
The precious point recovered by Reims is largely due to Diouf who kept his cage without conceding a goal.
The goalkeeper showed himself several times, such as in the 17th minute.
Outarra receives an off-center ball to the right of the area from a strong cross from Boisgard.
He tries a shot by turning around but the Reims goalkeeper covers his first post well and saves his own.
Diouf is once again decisive in the second half.
On a corner, Diouf takes away badly with his aerial exit and Boisgard prowls in the area.
He triggers a half-volley from the right but Diouf makes a reflex parry after the involuntary counter by Matusiwa (64th).
A high level match for Diouf which allows Reims to draw.
FLOPS
Lorient unrecognizable without Moffi
Lorient started the game well by getting some great chances, especially with Terem Moffi.
But the top scorer fell badly from an aerial duel and twisted his right ankle (10th).
He tries to continue the game but has to give up his place a few minutes later (24th).
After this exit, Lorient will experience a big weak time and will often be destabilized by Reims.
Fortunately for the Hakes, the Rémois are not going to benefit from it.
Without their flagship striker, the Lorientais failed to score this afternoon.

Reims sees red
The Reims stadium is struggling to finish the matches at 11. Will Still's team received their seventh and eighth red of the season.
Indeed, Lopy received his second red of the season before Agbadou was also excluded at the very end of the match.
The expulsion of Lopy reversed the trend of the match because Reims were in quite a strong moment before this triggering element.
The Rémois then had much more difficulty in being dangerous.
It is also the eighth game in a row for Reims where a red is awarded.
