Umtiti does have a concussion
Paulo Fonseca specifies at a press conference that Samuel Umtiti is in hospital and that he is suffering from a “concussion”, and not from a “contusion” as he had previously said.
Paulo Fonseca gives news of Samuel Umtiti
Paulo Fonseca at Prime Video’s microphone on Samuel Umtiti, victim of a big knockout in the first period after a head impact, then replaced at the break: “I think he’s in the hospital now. He has a bruise . I don’t know more but he won’t be able to play the next match.”
END OF THE MATCH! (1-2)
REIMS TAKES THE THREE POINTS!
Big blow in Lille for Will Still’s men! Stade de Reims held on well in the second half and kept its advantage obtained in the first 20 minutes of play until the end. Lille woke up far too late to hope for anything.
Alexsandro Strike
OUCH…
This shot was certainly not the best choice to make but it will in any case be the last opportunity for Lille. The Brazilian’s shot goes wide of the target…
Cabella misses cross
The conductor of the Mastiffs misses his cross and the Rémois will be able to free themselves.
3 more minutes
There will be 3 minutes of added time.
Two changes coming!
Completely defensive choices!
Lille is growing!
The end of the match will be very long for the visitors! It is now Lille who completely dominate this end of the match. The offensive waves follow one another.
LILLE GOAL! (1-2)
LOSC CLOSES THE GAP!
Reims failed to score, Lille restarts the game, here begins a match that could change! It’s Benjamin André who scores with a great helmet shot after a lot of work from Cabella and a perfect pass from Ismaily!
Three changes for Reims
Daramy leaves his place to Salama. The other scorer of the evening Nakamura comes out and it is Khadra who replaces him. Finally, the excellent Teuma is replaced by Edoa.
RESCUE OKUMU!
THE PERFECT TACKLE!
Cavaleiro was on the verge of trying his luck from close range after a superb delivery from Cabella. The Reims defender dives and makes a perfect tackle to save his team. The following corner achieves nothing.
VERY CLOSE TO 3-0!
INCREDIBLE KNIGHT!
The counterattack is sublime, Chevalier’s parade is just as sublime! Munetsi tries his luck with a touch of the ball at the entrance to the area, full axis, but Chevalier intervenes! That was the goal of the KO!
USED LOSC!
It was hot !
Cabella makes the difference with her dribbling quality but doesn’t find the target on this shot! Six meters!
Cavaleiro again
The new entrant stands out again with this volley from the right side of the area. His shot from a very tight angle does not find the target.
Rusk for Foket
Intelligent foul from Cavaleiro in the heart of the game which stops the Lille counter-attack. He leaves with a yellow.
Change to Lille side
Ivan Cavaleiro comes into play in place of the young Icelandic Hakon Arnar Haraldsson.
Yellow for Tiago Santos
Logical rusk. The side pulls his opponent’s jersey.
Missed pass…
Symbolic of the poor form of Lille this Tuesday evening. And in particular from captain Benjamin André, who completely misses his transmission on this one.
DIOUF PARADE
YOROOOO!
He was alone, completely alone. And yet the Lille defender completely misses his helmet shot. The ball bounces on the ground before arriving in Diouf’s gloves.
Corner for LOSC
Obtained after a great job by Cabella.
Beautiful Reims defense
Although Lille tried to speed up the game, it is very difficult to put their evening opponents in danger once in the final meters. As evidenced by this percussion from Cabella, quickly recovered by Munetsi.
Discomfort in the locker room
This is the information from Prime Video: Samuel Umtiti would have felt unwell during the break in the locker room. An event which would therefore have pushed Fonseca to replace him. That said, the 2018 world champion has been doing very well since.
Zhegrova Strike
No danger for Diouf but this distant strike has the merit of existing! Above all, it is LOSC’s first on-target strike of the game.
Cabella no longer in the game
The Lille conductor touches more balls and you can feel it straight away. The Reims block presses less high.
It’s back to Lille! (0-2)
A change to note at the break: Umtiti is replaced by Alexsandro. Otherwise, we leave with the same actors on both sides.
HALF TIME! (0-2)
It’s the break in Lille where Reims clearly dominates its evening opponent. After 45 minutes of play, Will Still’s soldiers lead 2-0 thanks in particular to the first 20 minutes of fire. Lille showed nothing. Diouf had nothing to do.
Foul by Benjamin André
Teuma plays the move well and allows his teammates to breathe a little with this tactical error.
6 more minutes!
There will be 6 minutes more in this first act.
Corner for nothing
David is at the fall of this corner and tries his luck. A shot that doesn’t find the target. Diouf clearance to follow.
Corner for LOSC
Good work from Zhegrova who dribbles past a player on her control before going inside and trying her luck. Strike blocked and therefore corner.
The two returning players
Everything is better for the two players who return to the pitch. Fonseca was very close to making a change but then changed his mind. Note that Samuel Umtiti obviously did not undergo a concussion protocol, despite his big knockout…
Umtiti totally KO after a clash with Ito
Ito and Umtiti remain on the ground after this clash between the two players. The trainers enter the lawn. The French defender took a real knockout, it seems.
Stat’
And so two more today…
De Smet attentive
Good coverage from the visitors’ left side which prevents David and Zhegrova from combining at the entrance to the area.
Easy diouf
Tiago Santo tries to find a partner in the area with this cross from right to left. The Stade de Reims goalkeeper jumps higher than everyone and recovers the ball.
Reims free kick?
No said Mr. Referee. However, Daramy seemed to have made the difference on Umtiti at the edge of the area.
Zhegrova comes into play
Zhegrova replaces Yazici. Same position, but different profile.
Yazici will leave his place
Affected since the first minutes of the match, Yazici will come out.
Fonseca angry!
And there is something…
On his bench since the start of the match, the Portuguese tactician drops his shirt and comes screaming at his players!
AND TWO FOR REIMS! (0-2)
A LESSON !
Everything is well orchestrated! The Lille defense was also completely disintegrated. On a counter-attack of eight passes since recovering the ball, the Rémois make the break thanks to Nakamura!
The second scorer of the match was completely alone on the left flank of the area. Munetsi just had to make the pass. Nakamura’s composure did the rest.
Goal validated
It’s quick and effective: 0-1 for the visitors! Enough to make Will Still smile.
VAR in progress…
Fault or not? On the Lille bench side, we believe that the visitor’s attacker’s foot was too high. And he would have prevented Umtiti from intervening.
GOAL FOR REIMS! (0-1)
AMAZING !
Reims leads 1-0 and it’s completely logical! Dominant in the game, Will Still’s men take the advantage through Daramy on a corner!
Reims offside
The second of the game…
Daramy even found the net. New alert for Lille, far too high on this situation. Offside was flagged but there was only a few centimeters difference.
LOSC puts its foot on the ball
Small observation phase with the ball at the feet of the premises. Fonseca’s soldiers exchange short passes in their camp.
Back on the pitch
Yazici grimaces but Yazici is back on the green rectangle.
Lille is at 10
The reason ? Yazici is still outside the box, touched on his scoring opportunity a handful of seconds ago.
Lille opportunity
Cabella makes the difference in the penalty area and serves Yazici in the area! The Lille number 12 cannot find the target on this recovery.
Here we go again !
The fourth referee becomes central referee and the match resumes!
Match interrupted: the referee leaves… due to injury
Small problem with the referee of the day. Eric Wattellier complains about his right calf and will therefore give his place to Ali Djedid.
Reims offside…
First alert for the people of Lille!
Daramy takes a good through ball from Teuma. But his half-volley did not find the target. In any case, the Stade de Reims striker was in an offside position.
Kick-off !
Let’s go to Lille! (0-0)
It was the visitors, in blue, who kicked off this late match counting for the 6th day of Ligue 1! Nice atmosphere for a Tuesday evening!
Kick-off is imminent!
The players enter the pitch at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, accompanied by the referee of the match, the Frenchman Eric Wattellier.

Why Lille-Reims is being played this Tuesday
This poster for the French championship, between two teams who could make a jump into the top 5 in the event of a victory, was initially planned for last weekend, with the other matches counting for the 6th day of Ligue 1. But the oval ball has replaced the football at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium since the beginning of September, forcing the LFP to postpone the kick-off.
Match night at Pierre-Mauroy
Good evening everyone, welcome to the last match of the 6th day of Ligue 1. Lille, 10th at kick-off, hosts Reims, 12th, this Tuesday evening at Pierre-Mauroy. Kick-off at 9 p.m. live from RMC Sport.
