The game began with both teams looking to take control of the match and create chances for themselves. However, it wasn't until the 62nd minute when Rennes finally broke through.

This goal gave Rennes the lead and they never looked back. They continued to press hard and create more opportunities, but were unable to add to their lead. Despite this, Rennes held onto their advantage and went on to secure their first win of the season.
In addition to Terrier's penalty, Rennes also had a number of other key moments that helped them to secure the clean sheet.
