Reims’ woeful February continues with another defeat

Rennes have beaten Reims 1-0 at home in a lacklustre Ligue 1 match that was decided in the first 10 minutes with a red card and a goal.

Reims found themselves a man down after just three minutes when Cedric Kipre was shown a straight red for a horrible stamp on Welsh midfielder Jordan James.

Proceedings then got worse very quickly for the visitors when the referee awarded a penalty against them for handball.

Arnaud Kalimuendo made no mistake from the spot with his 11th goal in 22 league appearances.

Although the home side looked more likely to score there was little goalmouth action thereafter, even after Reims went down to nine men in the final minutes when Hafiz Ibrahim was shown a second yellow card.

The result left Reims without a win in 12 league games, a run that stretches back to November 10.

They have lost all four games so far in February and sit in 14th place in Ligue 1, four points above the relegation zone.

Rennes climbed two places to 11th.
