Nancy 1:2 Reims: Ligue 2 Match Result

Match report

Reims came away with a 2-1 victory over Nancy at the Stade Marcel Picot on Friday evening. The result moves them further clear in second place while Nancy remain seventh in Ligue 2's Regular Season table. Three goals were scored across the ninety minutes, with the decisive moment arriving late in the second half.

Yaya Fofana opened the scoring for the visitors in the twenty-ninth minute, giving Reims an early advantage. Chamsedin Kouranfal equalised for Nancy just nine minutes later, turning a yellow card into a goal. Nordine Kandil then provided the winner in the seventy-eighth minute, and the hosts could not find a response.

Both sides made several changes during the match. Nancy brought on Chafik El Hansar and Adrian Dabasse in the sixty-third minute, followed by three more substitutions around the sixty-seventh minute. Reims also shuffled their personnel, with Mohammed Daramy and Kouroufia Kebe coming on as the game reached its final stages.

Nancy dominated possession with 59 per cent but struggled to convert their chances. They registered four shots on target and created four big chances, yet only managed one goal. Reims were more efficient, landing four shots on target from four attempts, and their defensive work was evident in thirty-four clearances.

The result extends Reims' unbeaten run to nine matches across all competitions. Nancy's recent form has been mixed, with one win in their last five outings. The visitors now sit five points ahead of the hosts in the table.
