Reims defeated Dijon 4-2 at Stade Auguste-Delaune on Friday evening in a Ligue 2 regular season fixture, with the home side leading 3-1 at half-time and seeing out the match to win by two goals.

Goal details were not made available for this fixture, so individual scorers cannot be confirmed for either side. What is clear is that Reims found the net four times, with Dijon contributing two goals of their own across an eventful evening in Reims.

Reims remain in second place in the Ligue 2 table after nine matches played. Their record stands at four wins, five draws and no defeats, with 19 goals scored and 11 conceded, leaving them on 17 points. Their last five results — win, draw, draw, win, draw — are recorded in the table as WDDWD.

Dijon, meanwhile, sit eighth in the table of 18 sides following the defeat. They have played nine matches, winning three, drawing three and losing three, with 16 goals scored and 16 conceded. That gives them 12 points from their nine outings, and the table records their last five results as LWWWD.

The five-point gap between the two sides at this stage of the campaign captures where each club currently stands in the division. Reims are in the top two, while Dijon occupy a mid-table position in eighth. Reims's unbeaten record through nine matches is the standout statistical detail from their season so far, with four victories and five draws accumulated without a single defeat.
