Starting in place of Lucas Chevalier, Matvey Safonov had a great first period against Stade Rennais at the Parc des Princes. Indeed, the Russian goalkeeper, starting for the first time this season, first repelled a powerful strike from Esteban Lepaul after a Rennes corner (27th).
And a few minutes later, the former Krasnodar goalkeeper this time disgusted Valentin Rongier who was lurking near the surface after a serve from Esteban Lepaul. In the absence of Chevalier, Safonov scores valuable points.
