Reims defeated Strasbourg 2-1

Reims defeated Strasbourg 2-1 and got back to winning ways after two straight losses in the French league thanks to two goals in a dominant first half performance. When Amir Richardson sent a straightforward cut-back into the net's roof in the tenth minute, the hosts seized the lead. Three minutes before half-time, Mohamed Daramy extended their advantage after completing a short counterattack.

Strasbourg's Kevin Gameiro provided a late consolation goal from the penalty spot, but it was too little, too late for the visitors, who have now lost their last seven Ligue 1 games. Reims' fifth position was solidified following losses to Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes. They are now tied for fourth position with Lille, who face Metz, with 23 points from 14 games. Strasbourg has 13 points after 13 games, good for 14th place.
