Reims overturn deficit to sink Annecy 3-1 at Auguste-Delaune
Reims came from behind to beat Annecy 3-1 in a Ligue 2 fixture at Stade Auguste-Delaune, moving above their visitors after matchday three despite starting the round below them in the table. Annecy had led at half-time before the hosts responded with three second-half goals to seal the points.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Mattéo Veillon put Annecy ahead in the 32nd minute, finishing off an assist from M. Kone to send the visitors in front at the break. Reims levelled eight minutes into the second half through an own goal from Florian Escales, and the momentum swung further when C. Kouranfal, set up by Daouda Guindo, put the hosts ahead in the 64th minute. Quentin Paris added a third four minutes later to complete the turnaround.
Reims dominated the second period after a slow start, finishing with 54% possession and a commanding 20 shots to Annecy's seven, ten of which were on target compared to just two for the visitors. Annecy conceded far more fouls than they committed, a sign of the pressure they came under as Reims pressed for the win.
Quentin Paris scored the decisive third goal for Reims and finished with the highest rating on the pitch at 8.3. Daouda Guindo also impressed, laying on the assist for Kouranfal's goal as Reims turned the match around.
Reims's ten shots on target to Annecy's two underlined how much more clinical the hosts were in front of goal.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Reims 58%, the draw 26%, Annecy 16%. It finished Reims 3–1 Annecy.
Reims' rating edge carries it — Reims are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover on top gives Reims a clear lead. The draw at 26% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Reims at 58%?
Reims sit 118 points higher on our strength rating — 1714 to 1596. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,740 such games. Reims sit -0.41 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.7% of 2,380 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. The 300 most similar past games finished 61–21–18.
Why only 58%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Reims's column. Across 10,727 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,864. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Reims average 16 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 118 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here.
