Goals PSG vs Rennes
Rennes: Toko Ekambi (45′), Kalimuendo (48′)
VIDEO Highlight: PSG 0-2 Rennes
Playing at home, PSG is very determined to have all 3 points to forget the defeat against Bayern in the Champions League. However, Messi and Mbappe still played from the beginning, but this is an ungainly day for the duo.
In the first half, both Mbappe and Messi missed extremely delicious opportunities when facing the visitors’ goalkeeper Mandanda.
Attacking a lot without scoring a goal, PSG paid the price. In the 45th minute, Benjamin Bourigeaud made a pass over the line for Karl Toko Ekambi to speed up before launching a dangerous shot to open the scoring for the visitors.
Entering the second half, PSG continued to receive another goal very early. From the phase to lose the ball at Bernat’s home ground in the 48th minute, Rennes organized a quick counterattack. Lesley Ugochukwu sent a clear pass for Arnaud Kalimuendo to decisively double the lead for Rennes.
Being led by 2 goals, PSG played more and more confused. They only know how to pass long to Mbappe and Messi. But this way of playing is easily disabled by Rennes. And even when given the opportunity, neither Messi nor Mbappe could score.
The final result of this match was 2-0 in favor of the away team. PSG still hold the top of Ligue 1 with 66 points after 28 matches, 9 points more than Lens when the season has 10 rounds left.
