If during the first thirty minutes, the Tour d’Auvergne Rennes showed itself to be dominant, although ineffective in front of goal, having great difficulty entering the locals’ penalty area, it was the latter who had the best opportunity beginning. At the 37eᵉminute, a volley from Maxime Letondurier passed just above Alexandre Bouillennec’s crossbar.
In the process, it was the Pleudihen goalkeeper, Arnaud Fraboulet, who saved a header from Assadillahi Ahamada on his line. Half-time was thus whistled with a goalless draw.
Five minutes into the second half, a foul in the area was called against Pleudihen. Ahamada converted the penalty for Rennes (0-1, 50′).
TA Rennes “met the objective”
“We only remember the qualification. We didn’t have enough pace, there was too much waste and we weren’t able to hit the nail on the head.”, indicates Ludovic Royer, the coach of TA Rennes. In fact, no more goals will be scored.
For his part, Benoit Mallard, the coach of Pleudihen admitted: “We endure, but we have the match we wanted. We make a mistake, it costs us the meeting. But my players had a great match. I have some regrets, because if there hadn’t been a penalty, we could have gone all the way and I think there was a penalty for us at the end of the match, which was not awarded. »
Finally, it is the Brétilliens who move on to the next round. “We have the satisfaction of having played the match we needed, we achieved the objective. » For a penalty, Pleudihen therefore does not pass, but will have in no way deserved by playing a real Cup match.
PLEUDIHEN – TA RENNES: 0-1 (0-0).
Referee: Mr. Robert.
