The substitute wraps up the three points for Strasbourg, capitalising on a De Smet error and sliding the ball under Diouf. Game over.

88 | Strasbourg 2-1 Reims: a scare for Strasbourg as against the run of play, Reims have the ball in the back of the net. It is disallowed for offside. Reims haven’t threatened at all in the second half but it’s a reminder for RCSA that they have to see this game out.

Andrey Santos is looking increasingly comfortable in this Strasbourg midfield. An accomplished ball-winner, he has proven to be metronomic & capable of stretching the opposition defence with runs in behind. There is talk of him staying another season at RCSA. That seems wise.

Bakwa’s brilliant free-kick is met by Sylla who gives Strasbourg the lead against 10-men Reims.

A horrible substitute performance from Koné. Having replaced Atangana, he earns a second yellow. No arguing with either. Koné is devastated, collapsing on the floor on the way back to the dressing rooms.

Sebas has been on just a matter of minutes, but he does well to attract a foul from Agbadou. Gameiro does the job from the penalty spot, sending Diouf the wrong way.

34 | Strasbourg 0-1 Reims - it has been one-way traffic since Reims took the lead but Strasbourg have struggled to find a way past Diouf. Reims, however, against the run of play almost double their lead and it’s Nakamura again who draws a great save from Bellaarouch.

The two Japanese internationals combine. Ito’s cross is met perfectly by Nakamura who gets in-front of his man and heads into the top corner. A perfect start for Europe-chasing Reims.

'We were sh*t' - Angelo Fulgini fumes after Lens' latest defeat, against Metz. Les Sang et Or have lost three of their last four and haven't won since 9th March. Their Champions League charge has come off the rails.
