Montpellier vs Reims - Ligue 2

Montpellier and Reims played out a cagey goalless draw in what proved to be a tactically disciplined encounter between two promotion-chasing sides. The match was characterized by cautious approach play from both teams, with neither goalkeeper seriously tested throughout the 90 minutes. Nathanaël Mbuku's 36th-minute yellow card for a foul was the only notable incident in a first half lacking clear-cut chances. Both managers made wholesale changes in the final quarter of the match, with eight substitutions made between the 69th and 90th minutes as they sought the breakthrough that never came, leaving both teams to settle for a point in their promotion push.
