The only meeting between "Nice" and "Reims" started already in the 35th round of the French championship. At home, the port city footballers dominated from the very beginning in terms of ball control and played them forward in just over 10 minutes with a goal by Valere Germain. The accurate pass was made to him by the team leader Hatem Ben Arfa. After the break, the same Ben Arfa converted a penalty from 11 meters and the Reims team had no answers to the two goals of the hosts. This victory is particularly important for the Nice club in the fight for medals - the points won temporarily helped to rise to the third place in the standings and reduce the gap from "Monaco" to a point. Both this team and "Lyon" will play their matches away. Meanwhile, if "GFC Ajaccio" wins against "Bastia," "Reims" may already find themselves in the relegation zone by the weekend.
