EA Guingamp climbed out of Ligue 1’s relegation zone thanks to two consecutive victories. They now stand 16th, with 18 points in 17 games. They prevailed 5-1 over SM Caen on Wednesday and then went on to emerge victorious (3-2) from an intense encounter at Reims.

PAOK’s upcoming UEL rival found themselves trailing with just six minutes on the clock on Sunday. They turned the tide around with goals by Lars Jacobsen (33’) and Christophe Mandanne (48’). Stade Reims leveled in the 68th minute, but Guingamp’s persistence paid off eleven minutes later, as Claudio Beauvue netted the winner.

EA Guingamp: Lössl, Jacobsen, Angoua, Sorbon, Lévêque, Giresse, Diallo (22′ Sankharé), Mathis, Yatabaré, Beauvue, Mandanne (80′ Kerbrat)
