Reims•DefenderReims secured a crucial 3-2 victory over Red Star in a dramatic encounter that saw three goals scored in the final two minutes. The hosts dominated the opening exchanges with Keito Nakamura and Sergio Akieme establishing a commanding 2-0 lead within the first 24 minutes. Despite Red Star enjoying more dangerous attacks (49 to 44) and shots (12 to 9), Reims' clinical finishing proved decisive. The match descended into chaos during the second half with eight yellow cards distributed, before exploding into life in the dying moments. Substitute Martial Tia appeared to seal the victory in the 90th minute, only for Abdelsamad Hachem to immediately respond for Red Star, but it was too little too late for the visitors.
How entertaining was this match?
