| Nicolas De Preville is tackled by Pape Souare |
Stade Reims remain steady to win against a dangerous Lille side in the latest round of French Ligue 1. Both sides played a highly physical game but still ended with a scoreless draw in the first half.
The scores came in the dying minutes of the game. Odair Fortes subbed Gaetan Charbonnier and minutes later the substitute scored an unlikely manner in the 73rd minute. Djibril Sidibe was trying to clear a threatening ball in the box when his clearance hit the jaw of Odair Fortes. The bounce however went into the net which goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama failed to save. Then in the 76th minute, Nicolas De Preville header off Floyd Ayite's corner landed on Grezgorz Khrychowiak who headed the ball at pointblank.
Lille was about to concede the game when Anthony Weber's own goal in the 88th minute gave them renewed hope to just even score a draw at least.
It turned out that it was only that far their fortune had taken them to and yield the game.
