Review of the match Reims - Marseille:
The Ligue 1 soccer match between Reims and Marseille at the Stade Auguste-Delan II was an exciting, action-packed match that resulted in a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Marseille over their rivals. The first half began with both teams looking to take the game into their own hands. Reims made the first loud statement in the game: striker F. Balogun scored on 13 minutes, putting the hosts ahead. However, the advantage did not last long: only three minutes later, A. Sanchez of Marseille equalized the score. Then, on 29 minutes, Marseille took the lead thanks to another Sanchez goal, making the score 2-1 in their favor. The first half saw a lot of hard tackles and physical play, with both teams exchanging yellow cards. Т. De Smet of Reims and M. Guendouzi and R. Malinowski of Marseille received yellow cards.
In the second half, both teams made some tactical changes: Marseille made two substitutions in the 64th minute, releasing J. Clos and A. Unai instead of I. Kabore and R. Malinovsky respectively. Reims also quickly made three substitutions, replacing A. Flips, A. Mathusiwa and K. Keita with M. van Bergen, J. Cajuste and E. Agbada. Despite Rheims' valiant attempts to score, Marseille held on to their advantage and secured an important three points. Late substitutions by Rheims, including T. Fouquet and D. Lopi instead of M. Boucy and M. Maolide respectively, did not have a significant impact on the game. The match was replete with yellow cards and breaks in the game, with Reims's E. Agbadou getting a yellow card in the 90th minute, just before Marseille's K. Onder came on instead of E. Bayi. In the end, Marseille won with great difficulty, and A. Sanchez's two goals were decisive in the encounter between the two teams. As a result, Marseille climbed up the Ligue 1 standings, while Reims will be disappointed not to have taken a single point in this match.
In the next round, the following matches await the opponents: Nantes - Reims, Marseille - Montpellier.
