Stade Rennais will be satisfied with that. Come to Dawn with hopes of victory, the Bretons leave with a draw (2-2) against the promoted Trojan.
Les Rouge et Noir made a good start to the match and opened the scoring with Aguerd on a corner from Bourigeaud (9th). The second goal in two matches for the Moroccan after that scored against Strasbourg last weekend.
The decisive Trojan doorman
Gallon, the Trojan goalkeeper, was called upon several times in the first twenty minutes before the Rennais put their foot down. Much more enterprising and biting, the players of Laurent Battles turned the situation around in a few minutes. First of all on a corner taken by Rami (38th) then after a mess in the area concluded by Dingome (40th).
The second period was less rhythmic, but it was the Rennais who were the most prominent. Martin Terrier ended up equalizing with a dry strike from the right at the entrance to the surface (81st). The striker even had the match point at the end of his foot but Gallon blocked his shot in added time.
Rennes misses the opportunity to get on the podium and is 5th in Ligue 1. Troyes 14th, has just taken his seventh point in three matches.

The highlights of the meeting:
4 ‘. First Rennes shot! Rennes gets the ball high and throws himself quickly. Sulemana makes the difference and serves Terrier whose left strike is returned for a corner leg by Gallon.
4 ‘. Another Terrier! On the corner of Bourigeaud, the attacker is alone at the far post but does not frame his recovery of the right.
? 10 ‘. Aguerd opens the scoring! On Bourigeaud’s corner, the Moroccan international sends the ball into Gallon’s skylight! His second goal in two matches after that scored against Strasbourg last week. 1-0 for Rennes!
14. La volée de Laborde! Found in the back of the defense, Laborde arms a magnificent volley from the left on which Gallon relaxes to repel danger. The eighth goal of the season in Ligue 1 was very close for the Breton striker.
20 ‘. Gallon saves Troyes! Terrier presses the defense of Troyes, recovers the ball and gives Bourigeaud whose shot from the right is blocked. Gallon is caught on the wrong foot but manages to deflect the shot with the tip of his foot above his crossbar.
23 ‘. Big opportunity for Troyes! Meling loses the ball near the surface and Dingome rolls a cross for Baldé all alone at the far post. The attacker resumes without control of the right but his strike ends just next to the post of Gomis who was beaten. Big mistake in marking the Bretons, without consequence this time.
32 ‘. Kouame above! Kaboré has space on the right side to overflow, his cross is a bit long but Biancone put back for Kouamé who followed at the entrance to the area. His attempt flew off but Rennes were far behind in the marking.
37 ‘. The relaxation of Gomis! Troyes pushes to return to the score! The Bretons can not hold the ball and offer too many cartridges to Troyes. Biancone carries out a returning center where Gomis, a little advanced, was almost caught. He finally slams the ball for a corner.
? 38 ‘. Troyes equalizes! Rummy! On the corner Adil Rami cuts the trajectory at the near post and propels the ball into the net. Gomis can’t do anything. The head seems a little deviated.
? 40 ‘. Troyes passes in front! Baldé escapes behind Traoré’s back and crosses the area. After a game of billiards in the box, the ball lands on Dingome who eliminates Meling with a hook and strikes from the left. Gomis hits the shot near his post but is too short. Troyes turns the situation around.
49 ‘. Sulemana next door! The match starts again at a big pace! Omari wins his one on one against Baldé and transmits to Tait who finds Sulemana. The left winger has all the time and space to advance to the Trojan area and hook his vis-à-vis. His curled shot, however, passes next to the skylight.
53′. Oh Ripart! The Trojan attacker goes deep and plays Aguerd with a hook and then a small bridge. He then tries his luck but it goes into the small net. Le Troyen could have let himself fall as Aguerd’s return was limited in the area.
68 ‘. The judgment of Gomis! On the corner which follows Biancone shoots on Gomis, Ripart then takes over but is countered, near his goal line Omari saves.
? 81. Terrieeeeer! Stade Rennais equalizes! Tait plays a one-two with Guirassy in the box. The striker is hooked in the area at the time of his handover but the referee lets play and this benefits Terrier who strikes from the right in first intention to the post. 2-2!
90 ‘+ 2. Burrow the match point! Laborde sees Terrier, alone at the far post. The former Lyonnais instantly regains the left but Gallon throws himself into his feet and admirably counter.
