Stade Rennais hosted Toulouse FC this Saturday for the 24th day of Ligue 1. Before the half-hour mark, the Bretons took the advantage.
On a cross from Merlin, deflected with his hand by the Toulouse goalkeeper, Nordin rose into the air, higher than Cresswell, to place an unstoppable header into the back of the net (1-0, 27th).
Rennes regains ground for Europe
Returning from the locker room, after the first forty-five minutes largely dominated by the locals, TFC struggled to find a solution. In the 57th minute, Emersonn tried to worry the Rennes with a twenty-meter shot, well repelled by Samba. However, the score remained unchanged until the final whistle. Thanks to this success, the residents of Roazhon Park temporarily move to 5th place, qualifying for the Europa League. Toulouse, for its part, remains stuck in 10th place, in the soft underbelly of the ranking.
