Ligue 1: end of series for OM de Gasset, borrowed from Rennes

A well-run match, which puts Rennes back in the race for Europe. Well into their game, the Bretons, unlike the Olympians - still in Villarreal three days earlier for their round of 16 second leg of the Europa League (3-1, 3-5 on aggregate) - immediately put significant pressure on the Marseille defensive block. The Olympian collective, tired and lacking ideas, which can be explained by the repetition of the meetings of Jean-Louis Gasset's men for several weeks, failed to worry Julien Stéphan's men.

Dominant and offensive, particularly with the fine entry of Martin Terrier, the Rennais opened the scoring at the end of a great combination between this same Terrier and Amine Gouiri, converted by the former with a powerful strike (21st).

Rennes then controlled the game, maintaining possession and multiplying crosses into the Marseille area. The Olympians, physically challenged, never really worried the Rennais in this part, apart from an attempt by Aubameyang (71st) taken by Faris Moumbagna, who found Steve Mandanda's post. The former Marseille player was used several times in the air on the few hazardous attempts of Amine Harit in particular.

While the Olympians had let their guard down slightly, Adrien Truffert entered the Marseille area a few minutes before the end of the match (77th). Hooked by Bamo Meïté, despite having played a good game in defense, the Rennes left-back caused a penalty 15 minutes before the end of the match. Benjamin Bourigeaud, decisive in the heart of the game, allowed Stade Rennais to take a two-step lead. The Olympians faded away in the final minutes of the match and the Bretons quietly won, controlling the final phases of the game.
