Younousse Sankhare created the game's first chance as the Guingamp man sent a right-footed shot from outside the box towards goal, but it swerved wide to the keeper's right.

Eliran Atar put a teasing ball into the box for Reims, but Anthony Weber could only head wide with the goal gaping in front of him.

Mustapha Yatabare spurned a great chance for the hosts as he headed wide from Rachid Alioui's corner.

However, Yatabare made amends after the break when he sent in a cross for Alioui to get hold of, leaving the striker to lash the ball into the bottom corner and put Guingamp 1-0 up.

Reims weren't to be put out by the goal as they responded in the 69th minute. Odair Fortes received the ball from Prince Oniangue and converted it from the centre of the box.

The visitors turned the game on its head a few minutes later as Floyd Ayite drilled the ball into the bottom-left hand corner of the goal to earn Reims three points away from home.
