Under the orders of Julien Stéphan, Rennes dominated Reims this Sunday as part of the 13th day of L1 (3-1). After two months of drought in the championship.
This will do good for the people of Rennes! After four consecutive defeats and a draw in Ligue 1 since 1er last October, the Breton club was able to return to victory in the championship, this Sunday, on the occasion of the reception of Reims on behalf of the 13e lifting. For the big return of Julien Stéphan on the bench – and while Bruno Genesio packed his bags during the international break – Rennes was able to prove convincing.
Quickly, the Reds and Blacks took the lead on their lawn at Roazhon Park. Gouiri was able to strike from the start of the match (1-0, 4e), thus greatly facilitating the task of his team. The Rémois, however, equalized before the break, through Diakité (45e+2), but Bourigeaud – captain deposed in favor of Mandanda – had the good idea to score after returning from the locker room to relieve his team, at the end of a great collective action (2-1, 46e).
