Stade Reims 2 - 2 Stade Rennais FC: Kamil Grosicki denies struggling Reims with a late Rennes leveller

Ten-man Reims ended a run of six successive Ligue 1 defeats against Rennes, but it could have been better than Saturday's 2-2 draw.

It looked like being a goalless first half until Jeremie Boga, on loan from Chelsea, popped up on 42 minutes to grab his first ever Ligue 1 goal, following some great build-up play from Benjamin Andre and Kamil Grosicki.

Reims levelled just before the hour mark when some poor Rennes defending left Aissa Mandi unmarked 12 yards out and the Algerian forward took full advantage.

Jaba Kankava was given his marching orders minutes later for a second yellow card, yet Nicolas de Preville struck from a tight angle to hand the hosts a surprise lead.

However, Reims' hearts were broken on 82 minutes when youngster Ousmane Dembele crossed for Grosicki and the Polish midfielder struck to deny the hosts a much-needed three points.
