Mandanda intervenes well at the souvenir center
A good exit and a strong hand at the start of 5 minutes of stoppage time.
Leroy replaces Sagnan
A slightly more outrageous option for the last minutes.
The fairy is warned
A late tackle that cuts off transition. Another tough time for the Rennes midfielder, under pressure and technically clumsy.
Bourigaud is praised for his presentation
Matusiva makes his debut in front of a new crowd after coming on as a substitute in Lyon last week.
Goal disallowed for offside in Montpellier!
Khazari weapons at the entrance to the area. His shot is deflected by a defender and pushed back as best he can by Mandanda. Karamoh pushes the ball deep, but is well ahead when his teammate strikes.
Coulibaly, who appears to be affected, is replaced
Enter the young Guigin (born in 2005).
It is no longer an equal match
Reynaz seems a bit softer in duels. Julian Stephan signals them to tighten the lines.
The souvenir gets the suspense!
Rennes slowed down a bit and the MHSC midfielder managed to find a striking angle on the edge of the area. Well placed shot, 2-1!
The two scorers of the day are replaced
Terrier and Kalimuendo exit, Yildirim and Blas enter.
A triple change on the Montpellier side
Tchato, Chotard and Fayad are replaced by Hefti, Ferri and Karamoh.
Goal disallowed by video!
An offside signal is given when the sound system plays Just Can’t Get Enough by Depeche Mode. Still 2-0!
Gauri is walking backwards in the right place!
New Rains School Action. The ball goes to Borrigeaud, which is a district in the area. Serves Dui. Cross-shot by Lecomte pushed back by Lecomte at the feet of Gowrie, in the right place for 3-0!
Julien counters a strike from Bourygod!
Great work from Rennes, with support from Kalimuendo in the area and a pass for Bourrigaud, whose shot is eventually deflected by a defender.
It’s getting away a bit
At the corner, Mandanda boxes the ball in an odd manner. In the process, Gowri crashes into the area on the other side of the field and demands a penalty. The Algerian seems to dig himself into the defender, the video says nothing.
Omri saves Rance
Koulibaly manages to break the axis and spikes the ball over Mandanda’s exit. Omri is alert and clean in front of Khazri, ready to push the ball deep.
Kalimuendo has been warned
He will miss the game against Clermont in two weeks.
Montpellier header on the corner
Héraultais has been very comfortable in this area since the start of the match, even if he goes missing.
Decisive Defense of Manda
Savnier tries his luck from distance after a free kick. It goes under the bar, but Mandanda deflects the ball well.
Kalimuendo quietly transforms!
A small setback in the race to see where Lecomte goes and catches him on the wrong foot. 2-0 and another disastrous start to the half for Montpellier.
Penalty for Rennes!
Mincarelli throws himself high to stop Guela Duena’s cross, which hooks and tackles.
Gauri replaces Desiree Due
Speaking to Prime Video, Rains coach Julian Stephan explained that Due was sick all night.
Let’s try again!
With a change at break…
It’s a break, the terrier wasted no time!
The Rennes striker scored after 3 minutes of play (unless he was Omergic against his camp) and capped a good first period for Breton.
The Stade Rennais attackers went a long way and troubled MHSC, even if Montpellier got their heads out of the water a little at the end of the first period.
Truffert is warned to save time
A full-back is too slow to play a touch against the bench.
Terrier shines Lacomet!
A beautiful full-axis call from Terrier, perfectly serviced by Kalimuendo. Reigns tries a #7 cross shot, but Lecomte is well rested.
Mandada is still in demand
Omergic manages to control and strike in the area on an indirect free kick. It is very crushed and on the Rennes goalkeeper.
Montpelier residents are asking for fines
The ball hit Le Fee’s arm, but at close range and in a natural position. Start again after a short video check.
First stop of Mandand
Tchato crossed for Mincarelli, another piston at the far post. The former OM goalkeeper should sleep on this head, without too much worry.
Raines suffers a little more
The Bretons don’t concede any chances, but they don’t manage to create any chances in transition either.
Omri imposes himself on the area
Facing him, the Montpellier striker fell and looked for a penalty but there was none.
Savnier is on the ground in front of the bench
The MHSC captain’s shout was impressive, but Désiré Doué was only too late. Nothing serious, Savnier stood up.
Khazri has been warned
This doesn’t stop Montpellier from debating at length as usual.
Rance’s generosity is impressive
Offensive players run a lot on empty and the ball carrier has many options. Like a terrier just now, who always transplants despite some potential pass. The one aimed at Bourigaud, which was launched in the area, was eventually intercepted.
The speed is slightly reduced
Things are undoubtedly going very well for Montpellier, who may eventually leave his camp.
MHSC wants to avoid the free kick
We recognize Savnier’s foot, which finds the far post and Julien’s head. The defender’s handover poses little danger to the Rennes rearguard, who clears.
Thiet wins from a corner
The Belgian’s header, strangely alone, ends up just over the bar. Montpellier can be happy with just one goal behind.
The first quarter of an hour is largely to Rennes’ advantage
The one goal lead was deserved for Breton, who camped in the MHSC’s half.
Thiet attempts a free kick
Not necessarily the player we expect, and we understand why: he’s straight into the wall, half up.
Sagnan takes his first card with MHSC
Residents of Montpellier are taken by Breton vibrancy. The central defender should leave his zone late.
Montpellier tries to be a little different
Dilution is quiet for a moment. MHSC keeps the ball in midfield at its best.
Goal recognized by video!
No offsides, even when the scorer is ultimately omergic against his team.
The assistant referee raised his flag
In slow motion, the terrier doesn’t seem out of the game.
Terrier score in two times!
No time to waste: Terrier’s first shot is deflected by the post and back to the former Lyonnais!
Sagnan wins the first duel with Montpellier
Arriving from Utrecht, the former Lensois defender won the duel with Kalimuendo and gave big signals to the opposition crowd.
Let’s go!
Kick-off is given by Rennais.
Players enter the pitch
Rance Cope displayed a banner against mass sanctions and called for reform of the disciplinary committee.
