Goal cap, red card … Rennes is hara-kiri

The week got off to a good start for Stade Rennais, which won their derby last Sunday against Nantes before qualifying for the Europa Conference Conference on Thursday at Rosenborg. It ended in a disastrous way this Sunday afternoon for the Bretons who, weighed down by their central defense, offered victory on a plateau to Angevins who did not ask for so much.

After a very poor first half in chances, the turning point was the expulsion of Loïc Badé. Already warned for a gross foul on Mohamed-Ali Cho at the half-hour mark, the former Lensois reoffended barely ten minutes later by hanging Sofiane Boufal at the entrance to the surface. His team reduced to ten just before half-time, Bruno Genesio then proceeded to a big turn-over on the return from the locker room with the entries of Guirassy, ​​Camavinga and Omari in place of Terrier, Sulemana and the young Abline, tenured for the first time.

“The easiest goal of my career”, smiles Boufal.

The Rennais then better controlled the start of the second period just before they scuttled on a goal gag just before the hour mark. Taking advantage of a huge mess between Alfred Gomis and Nayef Aguerd, the young Cho came to press effectively to steal a ball that Sofiane Boufal only had to slip into the empty goal.

“We will say that it is the easiest goal of my career, reacted the Angevin striker at the microphone of the Amazon Prime channel. The goal is very easy to set but you have to be positioned and do the pressing ”. Despite a huge opportunity from Guirassy in the wake, it was the Angevins who made the break at the very end of the game thanks to the tireless Cho.

“Not come for a football match”, plague Genesio

Enough to enrage Bruno Genesio at a post-match press conference. “We gave Angers a goal when they hadn’t asked for anything,” he responded. I am especially angry for the first period, we attacked the part in ballerinas, we had not come for a football match ”.

For the SCO, however, the season could not have started better with three wins and a draw. After his victory against Rennes, Gerald Baticle’s men even take the provisional reins of Ligue 1 before tonight’s Reims-PSG match.
