The Match:
OM won 1-2 against Rennes in an intense match marked by several twists and turns. From the start, Marseille imposed high pressure, but it was Rennes who had the first chances. In the 28th minute, a penalty was awarded to Rennes after a handball from Amir Murillo in the area, but Arnaud Kalimuendo missed his attempt, repelled by Geronimo Rulli. In the 43rd, Kalimuendo opened the scoring for the Bretons, taking a back cross from Lorenz Assignon. However, OM reacted quickly, and in the 45th minute, Mason Greenwood equalized after a back cross from Amir Murillo.
The second half starts strong for the Marseillais. In the 49th minute, Adrien Rabiot put OM in the lead with a cross header following a cross from Greenwood. Rennes tries to react, with a strike from Ludovic Blas in the 80th which is well captured by Rulli. In the 86th minute, a penalty in favor of OM was first awarded, but after reviewing the video, the referee canceled his decision. In added time (90’+2), Derek Cornelius could have equalized on a cross from Bilal Nadir, but he missed his shot.
Despite a few attempts from Rennais and an increasingly tough physical game, OM held on and won a valuable victory, thus consolidating their position in Ligue 1.
