Reims alienated Marseille in the Velodrome

Alienate her Marseille inside the “Velodrome” h Reims.

Marseille may have come in… fired up after their impressive 5-1 win against Brest in the French Ligue 1 opener, but they showed serious defensive frailties against the valiant Reims, holding to a draw 2-2.

The hosts started the match ideally, with No to be in the right place at the right time after a shaky intervention by the opposing goalkeeper on a strong shot by Merlin, opening the scoring with a header in the 25th minute.

However, the visitors reacted even after equalizing with his “fireball”. We deserve it in the 51st minute, four minutes later they did the complete reversal, when after a quick counterattack, o Fofana form the 1-2. Marseille then pressed and equalized in the 71st minute with Greenwoodbut failed to find a third goal and settled for the one point.
