In an exciting and tense Ligue 1 encounter, Stade Rennes defeated Nice 1-0 at half-time and 2-0 in regulation time. The match was played at the magnificent Parc Roageon stadium, which was packed with passionate fans eager to see their favourite teams battle it out on the pitch. The first significant event of the game came in the 31st minute when a penalty was awarded against Rennes. Benjamin Bourigaud stepped up and confidently converted the penalty, giving his team the lead. At the start of the second half, both teams showed great determination to succeed. Rennes continued to press and were rewarded in the 54th minute when Arnaud Calimuendo struck with a header. The young striker showed his skill and gave Rennes a comfortable 2-0 lead. Desperate to change the course of the match, Nice made a double substitution in the 64th minute. Alexis Claude-Maurice came on in place of Rayan Belahian, while Gaëtan Laborde was replaced by Mizian Cho. Nice hoped that these changes would inject fresh energy into the attack and help them get back into the game. Rennes also made changes in the 65th minute.
Eduardo Le Fe was replaced by Felix Rieder, allowing Rennes to maintain intensity and control in the midfield. As the game progressed, the managers continued to utilise their bench players. Rennes made two more substitutions in the 77th minute, with Benjamin Bourijo coming on in place of Ismael Sarra, while Nice replaced Terem Moffi with Bilel Bouanani. The managers were keen to add more attacking options and keep the squad fresh at this crucial stage of the match. Passions flared in the 79th minute when Rennes player Wesley Omari received a yellow card for a rough challenge. The referee had to intervene to calm the players down and restore order to the game. Time was running out and both teams tried to maximise their chances of taking a goal. In the 86th minute, Rennes made three more substitutions: Arnaud Calimuendo replaced Jonathan Belochan, Djilali Due replaced Burak Yildirim and Felix Rieder was replaced by Jules Jacquet. These changes should have freshened up the Rennes attack and secured a deserved win. After the final whistle, the Rennes players celebrated a hard fought victory over Nice.
