French-born Ghanaian striker Grejohn Kyei secured Ligue 1 promotion for Stade Reims after he came from the bench to score against Ajaccio at the Stade Auguste-Delaune on Friday, April 20, 2018.

Reims held a comfortable cushion at the top of the log but their promotion party appeared in danger of falling flat as they struggled to break the deadlock.

But less than a minute after his introduction off the bench, Grejohn Kyei poked in a 76th-minute winner to make it 1-0 and secure the David Guion's side all three points.

Kyei, 22 has scored three goals in 34 games for Reims in all competitions this season.
