Outstanding performance
Rennes•MidfielderRennes dominated from start to finish with a commanding 72% of match dominance, securing a deserved 2-1 victory over struggling Angers. The hosts took control early through an unfortunate own goal from Marius Louër before Mousa Tamari's sublime finish doubled their advantage. Despite substitute Prosper Peter's immediate impact pulling one back for Angers, Rennes' superior quality showed with 60% possession and 15 shots to Angers' six. The result continues Angers' poor form while Rennes demonstrated the clinical edge that separates them from their visitors.
