10th day of Ligue 1
Auxerre – Stade Rennais: 4-0
Le Havre – Montpellier: 1-0
This Sunday in Ligue 1, Stade Rennais experienced a real nightmare on the pitch at Auxerre. A heavy defeat which further weakens Julien Stéphan's position.
When nothing goes, nothing goes. This Sunday in Auxerre, Stade Rennais will have achieved almost nothing. Quite the opposite of the Burgundians, who enjoyed total success. At the start of the match, Arnaud Kalimuendo first thought he had opened the scoring but the former PSG player accidentally touched the ball with his arm. A few minutes later, Auxerre did not miss the opportunity to take the opportunity to crash thanks to a magnificent goal from Gaëtan Perrin (27th). A Gaëtan Perrin who will even score a double (39th) before the break to shower the Rennais. In the second half, the Bretons quickly wanted to show a new face. Once again, Arnaud Kalimuendo thought of scoring but this time the Rennes striker saw his goal canceled due to… penalty awarded (and transformed by Latine Sinayoko) to Auxerre on appeal by the VAR on the previous action following a somewhat stupid mistake from Mikayil Faye. Finally, at the very end of the match, Auxerre added a little more to the score with a counter-attack smoothly led and concluded by Ado Onaiwu. Final score of 4 goals to 0 for Auxerre, which climbs to 10th place. Stade Rennais is in a worrying 13th place.
In the other 5 p.m. meeting, Le Havre crucified Montpellier in the bottom-of-the-table clash between the bottom two in Ligue 1. The Normans will be able to thank Abdoulaye Touré, scorer from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute. This success for Le Havre allows the HAC, still 17th, to stay in contact (1 point) with the play-off place occupied by Saint-Etienne.
