In a Ligue 1 match, Rennes defeated Strasbourg 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Ludovic Blas. This victory improves Rennes’ position in the league standings and ends Strasbourg’s recent unbeaten run.
Match Highlights
Rennes’ new signings, Lilian Brassier and Kyogo Furuhashi, debuted in Habib Beye’s first Ligue 1 game as manager. Despite recent losses, Rennes started strong, with Arnaud Kalimuendo forcing an early save from Djordje Petrovic.
Strasbourg absorbed Rennes’ pressure and created chances. Emmanuel Emegha missed a clear opportunity after combining with Diego Moreira, and later failed to score before halftime after rounding the goalkeeper Brice Samba.
The second half was less eventful in terms of scoring chances. Jordan James of Rennes fired a shot over the bar, and Samba made a key save to deny Emegha again.
As the match seemed destined for a draw, Rennes found a breakthrough. A deflected corner kick reached Ludovic Blas, who scored with a left-footed shot. Rennes then secured the win, halting Strasbourg’s unbeaten streak.
