ASSE faced Stade Rennais this Saturday at 5 p.m. The Greens wanted to continue after the victory against Montpellier (1-0). Unfortunately, the Greens experienced a nightmare scenario. The meeting was broadcast on BeIN Sport. Here is the summary of the match from this 13th day of League 1.
A first that turns sour
The match begins with a style opposition between the two teams. Rennes have possession of the ball but without really creating any opportunities. ASSE attacks on the counter as soon as possible. On a first ball distributed by Louis Mouton, Mathieu Cafaro goes to the edge of offside and faces Mandanda who beats him. The Stéphanois winger is once again found on a ball behind the local defense, he controls the ball and comes in front of the Rennes goalkeeper and hits… on the post! The best possibility at the start of the match. Again, Mathieu Cafaro is found behind the defense and is pushed with his shoulder in the back… the referee does not flinch!
Although the Saint-Etienne winger added more, the penalty would not have been scandalous! The wind will turn very strong. Indeed, on a cleared corner at the entrance to the area, a Rennes player hits and Mathieu Cafaro deflects the ball with his hand. Penalty for Rennes and red card for the Stéphanois. After 40 minutes of play, the match took on a catastrophic aspect for the Greens. In added time, Ludovic Blas even doubled the lead following a failed restart from Abdelhamid then a missed intervention from Batubinsika. He shoots Larsonneur and scores 2-0. This is the score at half-time in a match that got off to a bad start.
Rennes is in second
Despite five interesting minutes, Rennes will score the 3rd goal after 7 minutes in this second half following a rather surprising laxity in the area. The tide continues for the Greens who are cornered in their area and defend almost systematically. Only Wadji shows a credible option to score a goal and save honor.
Arnaud Kalimuendo will score a hat-trick by scoring two additional goals, including a second from the penalty spot. The rout is total, the end of the match is whistled with a score of 5-0.
