Ligue 1 (18th day). Stade Rennais – Nice: 2-0
By logically dominating the runner-up of PSG (2-0), beaten only twice during the first leg, the red and black club is starting 2024 perfectly. Facing Niçois, practicing, without a doubt, the most popular football soporific of L1, but also the most unbearable when it comes to restarting from six meters – to better suck in his opponent -, Rennes was very serious.
In a 4-4-2, with a certain forward mobility for D. Doué placed in the left lane, Mandanda’s partners initially struggled to gain speed against this very low block.
Kalimuendo decisive again
With Bourigeaud’s shot in Bulka’s gloves (16′), followed by attempts by Terrier (22′), Kalimuendo (24′) and again D. Doué, blocked by Rosario (28′), Rennes achieved a successful first act . Caused by a header from Terrier, blocked by the hand of Rosario (29′), Bourigeaud’s penalty rewarded this diligent collective (31′). If Mandanda was attentive in front of Laborde (33′) and Claude-Maurice (62′), Julien Stephan’s group was clinical when Kalimuendo, served as in Roudourou by Le Fée, for the break (54′). This important victory proves that Rennes is doing better, that the 4-4-2 seems to be the pattern which best corresponds to the qualities of this group. The Matic psychodrama seemed far from a Roazhon Park warmed up by the victory. Rennes will challenge OM next Sunday in the Coupe de France (9:05 p.m.) to confirm the trend.
