Outstanding performance
Angers SCO•MidfielderRennes made the perfect start, going 2-0 up inside 17 minutes through Frankowski's clinical finish and an unfortunate Jordan Lefort own goal, and that cushion proved decisive. Angers hit back through Carlens Arcus's header from a corner just before the half-hour mark, but couldn't find the equalizer despite dominating set-piece situations with 11 corners to Rennes' 6. Rennes controlled the game territorially with 57% possession and 515 passes at 89% accuracy, and their extra quality in the final third showed with 4 big chances created against Angers' 1. For Angers, sitting mid-table, this is a frustrating result against a side above them in the pecking order, while Rennes will take confidence from grinding out a win despite being far from their fluent best after the break.
