**Reims Stage a Heroic Comeback in Ligue 1 Round 13**
In a thrilling match that kept fans on the edge of their seats, Reims pulled off a stunning comeback to secure a 2-2 draw against Montpellier in Ligue 1 Round 13. Despite being trailing 2-0 early in the game, Reims showed remarkable resilience and composure to turn the match around. The highlight of the game was the contributions from their own goalkeepers, who scored two goals to play a pivotal role in the comeback.
The game began poorly for Reims, as Montpellier took an early lead with a well-crafted goal. The visitors doubled their advantage in the 25th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error to extend their lead to 2-0. Reims, however, refused to back down and began to dominate possession as they searched for a way back into the game. The turning point came in the 63rd minute when goalkeeper Predrag Rajković scored a stunning goal from outside the box, reducing the deficit to 1-2. This goal not only ignited the traveling fans but also injected confidence into the Reims players.
Just four minutes later, Reims’ other goalkeeper, Éric Bailly-Michel, made history by scoring a second goal for his club, this time from a penalty kick. Bailly-Michel, who primarily serves as a backup goalkeeper, became the hero as his two goals brought Reims level and kept their hopes alive. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, but the performance of Reims’ goalkeepers will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the highlights of the season.
The result also had a significant impact on the Ligue 1 standings, as Reims moved to within three points of the top-four positions. Manager Slaven Bilic praised his team’s never-say-die attitude and highlighted the importance of the comeback in their quest for European qualification. “We showed great character tonight,” Bilic said. “The players never gave up, and the goals from the goalkeepers were the difference-makers. This is a crucial point in our campaign, and we’ll carry this momentum forward.”
Fans of Reims were also full of praise for the team’s performance, with many calling it one of the most exciting matches in recent memory. The comeback has reinvigorated the squad’s confidence and belief that they can challenge for a top-half finish this season.
In the end, Reims’ ability to overcome a two-goal deficit with two goals from their own goalkeepers was the defining moment of the match. It serves as a testament to the team’s fighting spirit and their never-die attitude, proving that even in the face of adversity, Reims can find a way to succeed. With this result under their belt, Reims will look to build on this performance as they prepare for their next fixture against Nîmes Olympique.
