Rennes and Angers played out a thrilling match at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday evening, with Rennes emerging victorious by a scoreline of two to zero. The win was a much-needed boost for the home side, who had been struggling in recent weeks.
The game got off to a tense start as both teams struggled to find their rhythm early on. However, Rennes gradually began to dominate possession and create chances, with their best chance falling to Terrier in the 18th minute. However, he couldn't convert his shot, leaving the visitors feeling frustrated but still hopeful.
Angers were not without their opportunities either, with Truffert hitting the post just before half-time. But it was Rennes who took advantage of a defensive lapse from the hosts in the 55th minute, when Terrier scored his first goal of the season to give his team the lead they needed.
The second half saw Rennes continue to press forward, and they doubled their lead just moments later through a clinical finish from Truffert. The result was a well-deserved victory for the home side, who now sit in fourth place in Ligue 1.
While this is only one win in what has been a difficult period for Rennes, it's a reminder that they can compete with the top teams in France. With some key players back in contention, there's no doubt that Rennes will be looking to build on this win and push towards a top-four finish.
