For the 6th day of Ligue 1, Stade Rennes traveled to Paris and logically lost, dominating the entire match.

It’s always a special match. For the 6th day of Ligue 1, after two victories, two defeats and a draw conceded to the wire against Lens last week, Rennes returned to Ligue 1 with a trip to Paris. At the Parc des Princes, the SRFC faced a destitute PSG, notably from Désiré Doué. Julien Stéphan chose to put Leo Ostigard and Amine Gouiri back in his eleven, while retaining his 3-4-3.

From the start, Paris showed itself to be the most enterprising with a strike from Ruiz deflected by Wooh (2nd). Then Marquinhos opened the scoring (3rd) with a cross from the left diverted by Ruiz with a header, and the Parisian captain finished in front of Mandanda. After a VAR check, the goal was logically canceled. PSG, however, continued to press and Dembélé, launched in depth, came up against Mandanda (6th). Renne finally responded timidly with a shot from Truffert that was too crushed (8th).

Dominant, the Parisians returned to the charge through Lee, whose shot was deflected at the near post by Mandanda (13th). Blas responded with an incursion concluded with a shot off target (14th). But Rennes continued to be asphyxiated by a leggy PSG. Dembélé alone missed again in front of Mandanda (17th), then Barcola infiltrated and gave Hakimi whose shot was deflected at the last minute by Seidu on the bar (19th)!

Rennes gave themselves a little breathing room but failed to appear dangerous, with Blas missing his volley on a semblance of an opportunity (26th). The sentence finally fell before the half-hour mark, by Barcola who finished off a fine counterattack with a curl (30th). 1-0 for Paris, which continued to manhandle the defense on the sides. Barcola and Ruiz did not fit, and Rennes did well by not conceding a new pawn. Kalimuendo crushed his shot too much (44th), and Rennes returned to the locker room with only one goal behind.

Returning from the locker room, same sentence for Rennes with a new goal conceded two minutes after kick-off, again canceled for an offside by Hakimi (47th). Lee struck next on a counter (49th), just like Matusiwa for Rennes (51st). Barcola continued to make Rennes’ defense hell, and defeated Ostigard before coming up against Mandanda (57th). The goalkeeper only delayed the deadline as Barcola hit the post a minute later, and Lee followed well to beat the loan goalkeeper (58th). 2-0.

Paris continued to move on and Mandanda had to work hard to get a shot from Ruiz at close range (60th), while Barcola then missed the mark. Barcola always had a festival concluded with a shot that went just wide (63rd). Paris finally scored the 3rd goal, by Barcola receiving a cross from the right (68th).

Paris was rotating its squad and Julien Stéphan had launched Faye and Kamara a few minutes earlier. Rennes obtained a penalty which Kalimuendo converted on the wrong foot (73rd), 3-1 a quarter of an hour from the end. Kalimuendo was still launched against the action following the start, but his shot was deflected (75th).

After a few changes made, Rennes tried in vain, through Gronbaek whose shot was knocked out by Safonov (83rd). But Seidu made his way alone on the right side, then benefiting from the counter after a first strike blocked by Beraldo, took over from the left to beat Safonov (87th). 3-2… but ultimately 3-1 after the goal was canceled for a handball from Seidu.

The score no longer moved, and Rennes conceded a third defeat in six championship matches. Dominated throughout the meeting, the Breton club never really existed during this meeting.
