Rennes vs Nantes match review:

In a thrilling Ligue 1 match at the Roazhon Park stadium, Rennes showed their resilience and fighting spirit with a 3-1 victory over Nantes. The match started in an even contest, with both teams looking to cement their presence on the pitch. However, as early as the 6th minute, Rennes scored from the penalty spot. Benjamin Bourijo took the lead and converted the penalty, giving Rennes their first lead. Nantes tried to respond and looked dangerous in their attacks, resulting in Florian Mollet receiving a yellow card in the 37th minute. The first half continued and just before the break Nantes equalised 1-1 through Pedro Chirivella's effort. The second half started with a flurry of yellow cards and both teams showed their intensity and desire to win. Thus, Lucas Assignon and Bourijo from Rennes, as well as Samuel Moutoussami and Pedro Chirivella from Nantes were suspended by the referee. The game continued to be keenly contested at both ends of the pitch. In an attempt to change the course of the match, Nantes made a substitution in the 61st minute, replacing Mollet with Kader Bamba. However, their efforts were soon in vain as Rennes secured a breakthrough in the 73rd minute.

Djibril Douet was the hero of the match, scoring a superb goal to put his team back in the lead. Nantes' frustration continued to grow and in the 77th minute, they got a double blow. Mohamed Mostafa received a yellow card for a flagrant foul, but his disrespect for the referee led to a red card and Nantes were left with ten men. Rennes made a number of substitutions at the end of the game, with Amine Guiri, Ismael Salah, Bapitste Santamaria, Burak Yildirim to freshen up their attacking options. Rennes also brought in talented youngster Adrien Truffet, who showed the depth and talent of the squad.

Arnaud Calimuendo confidently stepped into the striking position and headed the ball into the net, securing a 3-1 victory for his team. Rennes fans exploded with joy, celebrating a deserved victory. Overall, the match between Rennes and Nantes was an exciting spectacle that demonstrated the competitive nature of Ligue 1.
