Ligue 1 (19th day). Monaco – Stade Rennais: 2-1

The Rennais will spend their mini-truce for confectioners – back to La Piverdière on the morning of December 30 – at the foot of the podium. Defeated in Monaco (2-1), Rennes has 31 points and is now ahead of Nice (33) and Marseille (32).

On the Rock, after a rhythmic start, without creating a real opportunity, Rennes takes the lead on the scoreboard. The oriented control of Terrier on a service of Truffert triggers the one-two Terrier-Laborde and the goal while subtlety of the ex-Lyonnais (0-1, 16 ‘). Launched by Truffert, Laborde almost doubled the advantage (25 ‘).

On the retreat then, the Rennes see the main unfortunate captain Traoré offer the equalizer on penalty to Ben Yedder (1-1, 35 ‘). In the second act, Monaco is more to its advantage and Rennes must defend. If Gomis is attentive on Volland (61 ‘), he is beaten on the head of the German, cutting the crushed volley of Diop (2-1, 72’). Rennes does not let go: Santamaria finds the bar (74 ‘), Bourigeaud believes in it (90’ +3), but that is not enough to pick up.
