Match Reports

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Lyon. After a good start to the game and an early goal from Erding, Rennes was caught back in the second half, having failed to capitalise on their many dangerous opportunities to make the break. History repeats itself.

Ligue 1, Valenciennes 1 - 0 Stade Rennais. Behind from the first minutes of the game after Danic score a penalty, Rennes never seemed able to come back in a game poor both in chances and technical quality. The Bretons see their hopes to clinch a European position through the league diminish rapidly.

Ligue 1, Stade rennais 0 - 1 Toulouse. Smothered by a Toulouse team showing solid in defence and dominating at midfield, the Rouge et Noir did not show much in their show-down against a direct competitor for European places. And the Bretons were eventually hit by bad fortune, when Danzé countered an inoffensive shot by Rivière in his own goal.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Auxerre. Having gone behind early in the match, in spite of their domination, Rennes played catch-up for most of the match. They couldn’t get better than a draw, despite having a lot of chances.

Ligue 1, Lorient 0 - 2 Stade rennais. Dominated in the first half of its derby against Lorient, Stade Rennes finally left the Moustoir as winners. Thanks to the inefficiency of the Morbihannais striker in the first place, and then thanks to some clinical finishing. The Rennais are climbing up the table and back in fourth place.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Lille OSC. Rennes snatched something of a moral victory. After a very good first half hour, the Bretons received a double knock with the dismissal of Apam followed by Lille’s goal at the end of the first half, before equalising through Erding in the last minutes of regular time.

Ligue 1, Saint-Étienne 4 - 0 Stade Rennais. After a balanced first half, Rennes has completely collapsed in the second half at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, conceding three more goals. Because of a really efficient and clinical Saint-Etienne, but also of a really shaky Rennes defence.

Ligue 1, Nancy 0 - 0 Stade rennais. In difficult conditions, Stade Rennais didn’t shine but still manage to salvage a draw from their trip to Nancy. After a lively and balanced first half, the second was more difficult for the Rennais, who never managed to find a way round the Nancéiens.

Ligue 1, Stade rennais 1 - 2 Marseille. Exciting in the first half, Stade Rennais paid the strong price for its mistakes in Marseille. Not clinical enough when they could have extended their lead after Doumbia scored the opener, the Rennais then saw Marseille come back and win the game following collective mistakes by the Rouge et Noir.

Ligue 1, Caen 0 - 2 Stade Rennais. By scoring early through a genial inspiration by Kembo, Rennes had probably made half of the way at the Stade Michel d'Ornano. The Bretons would double their lead by Montaño, and managed to win in Caen for the first time in their history in Ligue 1.
