Rennes pursues a very worrying tire. In 2025, Sampaoli and his men lost all their matches: five defeats in five games, including one against Troyes in the French Cup (1-0). The last success dates back to December 22, it was against Bordeaux in the Coupe de France (4-1). With 17 points on the clock, Rennes remains tied with Nantes, a virtual barragist, who receives Lyon, this Sunday.
After a quarter of an hour of start -up, during which Takumi Minamino, well offbeat stumbled on Brice Samba (10 '), then after a good heel of Mika Biereth, struck the shoe on the Rennes goalkeeper (14 '), the spark came from Akliouche on a center of Vanderson. And what a spark!
In the process, Monaco thought he was folding the meeting. But well served in deviation by Mika Biereth, Aleksandr Golovin struck without control on the transverse bar of Samba (17 ').
Quiet, the Monegasques continued their domination. Without managing to double the bet, like the volley of Lamine Camara, not framed after a beautiful collective action (39 ').
And then, as in Montpellier last week, on the first real opposing offensive, Monaco conceded a goal. Ludovic Blas' rolled strike is very badly released by Radoslaw Majecki. The young Cameroonian Mohamadou Nagida, an original right side while he is left -handed and left -back, was the only one to follow. He was rewarded. Rennes equalized against the course of the game (1-1, 45+2 ').
Amine Gouiri's goal was not enough
But Hütter never renounces. At the break, he encouraged his players to continue to destabilize the Breton rearguard. It worked. Lamine Camara, full axis, served perfectly Biereth. The former striker of Sturm Graz took advantage of a samba judgment error on his powerful strike at Ras-de-Terre, to give the advantage to the red and white.
Contrary to what happened in the first period, Monaco did not flank later. And on a calibrated pass from Akliouche, Golovin made the break (3-1, 56 '). Unfortunately, on the action, Captain Denis Zakaria, victim of a tackle of Azor Matsima, was hit in the right ankle and had to leave the ground (58 ').
From then on, Rennes pushed. Amine Gouiri, luxury replacement, has reduced the gap (3-2, 67 '). But that was not enough for Rennes in crisis.
