OL - Reims (1-2): The Lyonnais had everything wrong - Olympique & Lyonnais closed

At the end of a sad match in a dull atmosphere due to the camera, Olympique Lyonnais bowed against Reims (1-2), this Wednesday.

Olympique Lyonnais still cannot continue in Ligue 1!Three days after its narrow success snatched on the lawn of Montpellier (0-1), the Rhodanians lost three new points this Wednesday during the reception of Reims as part of the 16th day of Ligue 1.In an icy cold for this first day of the weather winter while empty stands could not warm up the atmosphere, Lyonnais and Rémois delivered a first period of an incredible technical weakness.Only Karl Toko-Ekambi (18th) and Houssem Aouar (45th) came to pass a slight thrill in this OL Aphone park.But their attempts were far too shy to worry Predrag Rajković.

OL reacted after Reims' goal

On the return from the locker room, we take the same and start again.In an incredibly weak meeting at the rate, it was Reims who found the solution.Following a corner pulled by Valon Berisha, Wout Faes, taking advantage of a somewhat lax marking of his compatriot, Jason Denayer placed his whim (56th, 0-1).Author of miracles for several weeks, Anthony Lopes could not do anything.A goal that had the merit of waking up apathetic Lyonnais.As surprising as it may seem, the light came from Jérôme Boateng.Staying high on the ground, the German defender, left side, adjusted a perfect center for Karl Toko-Ekambi who had only to score in the empty goal (1-1, 66th).While we were quietly heading for a draw, Valon Berisha, not attacked, tries his luck at the twenty meters.His attempt, badly pushed, by Anthony Lopes benefits Hugo Ekitike who is played out of Jason Denayer before scoring in the empty goal (1-2nd, 90+3).

Once again this season, Olympique Lyonnais cannot continue a second success in a row in the league.The absence of the supporters surely weighed in this flavorless match.But the reality is there.OL sees the podium moving away and falls in 10th row.The good operation of the evening is to be credited to Olympique de Marseille, winner in Nantes and who seizes second place in the classification.

Tops and flops

Tops:

Reims: In difficulty in recent weeks, the Champenois have just chained with two victories in a row, against Clermont then on the lawn of Lyon.Deprived of his coach, Oscar Garcia, Reims showed character and solidity to have an almost logical success in Décines.

Flops:

Islam Slimani: tenured for the second time in a row at the center-forward post, the Algerian international has systematically played back to the goal absolutely not weighing on the defense Rémoise.

Jason Denayer: faulty on the first goal, in difficulty on the second, the Belgian defender appears out of shape.Slow, late in many times, the Red Devil is struggling in recent weeks.

The game offered: in an empty stadium, the Lyonnais did nothing to warm the atmosphere.No rhythm, no desire and a game practiced far from the promises of summer.The next few weeks promise to be decisive for the rest of the championship season.
