Opposed to Strasbourg this Sunday as part of the 10th round of L1, Stade Rennais was unable to win at home (1-1).
After two consecutive defeats in the league, Rennes was counting on the reception of Strasbourg at Roazhon Park to restart the machine, this Sunday, as part of the 10e day of Ligue 1. Weary for the Bretons, despite the advantage quickly taken on the scoreboard, a new draw came to sanction their debates.
If Truffert logically opened the scoring for the locals (1-0, 23e), Sels, the Alsatian doorman, then worked to thwart the plans of Genesio’s men, depriving them of the break they sought on many occasions. Thus vulnerable, the Rennais ended up cracking on one of the rare opportunities conceded to their opponents – a second ball perfectly exploited by Mothiba (1-1, 81e).
“There is an emergency”, proclaims Bourigeaud
“ We were keen to win in front of our home crowd this eveningsays Bourigeaud, live on Canal+. It’s frustrating because we put the necessary ingredients in the first half, we had control of the ball and the match, and we gave in due to a careless error. We need to be more united on a mental level, especially when things get physically tough. We missed some things tonight, and we got punished for one of our only mistakes. There is an urgent need for points, we must show a lot more and look further to hope for victories in the championship. »
