Stade Rennais continues to win. After the draw against PSG (2-2) and the difficult victory against Le Mans (3-2), the Bretons continued well by winning on the Angers field (1-2) this Sunday, as part of the 3rd day of Ligue 1.
Franck Haise’s men quickly made the difference, with a goal by Przemyslaw Frankowski, lying in wait in the penalty area (9th), and a CSC from Jordan Lefort, trapped by a cross from the left (17th). But the rest was not so simple for the Rouge et Noir, who played rosy on the occasion.
Angers could have come back
Angers reduced the gap before the break, through Carlens Arcus (35th). And as the Rennes missed a little edge when negotiating their 3-1 balls on the counter-attack, the suspense stretched to the end, including this header from Usman Simbakoli on the cross (88th), which could have offered the equalizer to the SCO.
On arrival, and even without impressing, Rennes provides the essentials with seven points taken in three matches, which allows it to position itself at the top of the table. Two points from Monaco, near Lyon and Lille. And now, it is the reception of OM which is looming.
