00:00So Reims get this game started, just one win in their last nine.
00:11Madrid in, Guarani held up, shot comes in and it's a push clear.
00:23Another pouring forward now from the visitors, that's a good ball from Ndombele, the shot
00:37is on and the shot is well saved again by Diouf.
00:43To the halfway line and waves back on as Reims go to the other side, Nakamura to him at first
00:52time, punched away by Bouka, Reims go long, Nakamura gets turned, gets his pass out right
01:04this time, deflected cross and that's a really good save from Bouka, what a strike it was
01:13too from Sergio Akemi.
01:17Did mention the results haven't been brilliant at home this season but they did draw with
01:21Monaco in their last home game, also had a draw with PSG in September, it's Nice though
01:27looking to get through and somehow clear it off the line.
01:37Close delivers, free header and Nice have the lead, who else but that man, Edouard Guesson.
01:54Real joy for the visiting support and yet more for Guesson to celebrate this season.
02:05Good delivery from close and somehow Guesson has plenty of freedom in there, still plenty
02:13to do though, that was a really powerful header to beat a very good goalkeeper.
02:19Seven shots, four on target and that header from Guesson separating the sides, here's
02:28a chance for Diop, the keeper is way off his line, he just about recovers.
02:35Felled that time, Ito, Turma, Dante getting up, it's Ito though who scores.
02:54It's one all and Reims are level, Junya Ito, Turma's ball in, Dante, well he did not get
03:09enough on that header, a nice skipper and it was a good finish from Junya Ito, so often
03:16the talisman for Reims over the last three seasons and he's got his fourth goal of the
03:22campaign in the league, an important one, it's Reims' one, neat, doesn't pay off on
03:27this occasion, Turma was there for Reims, he's have it again though, Laborde, the close
03:37low ball across and that will be a penalty, there's a yellow card as well, close again
03:53causing problems, that was a really good ball across, referee had a pretty good view of
04:00this, a real tangle of legs in there, he's had a long time to think about what he wants
04:12to do with this spot kick, it's Laborde's and that is as cool as it gets, Reims' one,
04:26Nice two, a classy finish from Gaetan Laborde and the visitors go in front again, and here
04:38was the punishment, need to be a few more the way this match is going, Laborde for Gaetan,
04:51low ball across, that's just about kept out, tester for Bouka, he's able to punch it clear
05:03and Nice, and this is a halftime whistle and Nice is winning 2-1, so Reims short on confidence
05:17and feeling aggrieved at that late penalty award for Nice, right on halftime and they
05:26hit back in the second half, oh that's a good ball, Laborde, great finish, great goal, it's
05:413-1 Nice and Gaetan Laborde has his second of the night, a win over Reims at home last season,
05:53he has timed his run beautifully there, what a pass through from Sophie and Diop and a tidy
06:00finish as well, the insurance goal for the visitors, it's Reims' one, Nice three, Diop
06:09and Laborde making a bit of play, it's gonna be called up for a foul but Nice able to make
06:24progress and they're in on goal again and that's a good save, Diop
06:39oh what a strike that is, out of nowhere, Reims have a goal back
06:53and what an impact from the substitute
06:59just on the field, Mamadou Diop makes it 3-2
07:03Nice leaving plenty of gaps at the back, Diop took a couple of touches and then picked his
07:14spot, that is a wonderful finish, his first goal in Ligue 1, the 19-year-old taking seconds to
07:23make his mark in this game
07:38I get the impression that Nice are just happy to see through the last few minutes but maybe
07:44now they can create something, Laborde wants his hat-trick, it's Abdi instead who finds the net
07:51and that should clinch it, 4-2 to Nice and surely now no way back for Reims
08:00about a 10-hour drive, eight and a half hours by train, it's all worth it in the end
08:08what a finish, decisive, really good play, Ali Abdi the Tunisian slamming it home
08:20the second goal of the season coming at it, Songhi under pressure, it's all going wrong
08:29at the moment for Reims and there we have it, it's a fifth goal for Nice
08:41well the 20-year-old's ill during the week getting his third goal of the campaign
08:45through a crowd of bodies after the unfortunate Noah Songhi lost possession
08:52what a night for Nice in the end, last two, Nice five
09:02okay
09:05still bits to clean up in terms of his side's form but
09:21and the match is over and it's a great victory for Nice, four goals against two
09:28Reims struggling in this encounter and of course in the table as well, ladies and gentlemen thank
09:34you for being here with us and see you the next time with all the action of Ligue 1 on Beansport
