Rennais Stadium. After Monaco, Rennes lost the thread again in Strasbourg – Stade Rennais
Strasbourg-Rennes: 2-1
A second loss in a row against a direct opponent for the European places in four days in the middle of the final sprint, that’s a stain! On the lawn of Meinau, the Alsatians quickly took the lead, when Hamari Traoré was slow to come back and allowed H. Diallo to score (1-0, 4 ‘).
Perfectly embarrassed by the spider’s web put in place at Julien Stephan, the Bretons had difficulty in putting speed in their game. As had already been the case against Monaco. If Tait found the bar (11′), H. Traoré saw his attempt flee the frame (19′) and Terrier stumbled on Sels (27′), the success was not there…
Five days for a podium
She came back, with Terrier, at the start and at the conclusion 20th goal (1-1, 54 ‘). That was not enough… Strasbourg was pushing. After a reflex save by Alemdar on a heel from Ajorque (63′), Nyamsi touched the post (66′) then Gameiro the bar (71′), before Ajorque’s winning header (2-1, 76’) . In two days, the Rennais saw Monaco, winner of Nice (1-0) on Wednesday, and Strasbourg, picked up in terms of points (56)! They remain third thanks to their crazy goal difference (+34). Five days before the curtain goes down, Rennes must quickly become itself again.
