Match Reports

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 0 Bordeaux. On the verge of implosion before the game, Rennes will enter the winter break with renewed serenity after a good victory against the Girondins. Rennes, shaky in the first half, was much more enterprising in the second, thanks in part to the entrance of Brahimi at half-time.

Ligue 1, Ajaccio 1 - 0 Stade Rennais. Rennes struggles against the strugglers. Beaten by Ajaccio at the term of a very disappointing game, the Bretons – already beaten in Nice and held to a draw by Brest – are progressively losing touch with Ligue 1’s leading teams.

Ligue 1, Nice 2 - 0 Stade Rennais. Against a solid Nice team, Stade Rennes was unrecognisable this Saturday evening. Lacking inspiration, lacking fighting-spirit, the « Rouge et Noir » have known one of their very typical bad days, and were logically beaten in a game wrapped-up by Nice before the interval.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 3 - 2 Evian TG. Trailing at the interval despite scoring the first goal, Rennes finally managed to win at the end of an action-packed encounter. A really positive result for Rennes, who keeps on hanging on to the league leaders.

Ligue 1, Lyon 1 - 2 Stade Rennais. At the end of a high-quality game, Rennes finally won after trailing – for the first time in nearly two years. Making the best of a very good game, the Rennais are already making a good operation in the league standings.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Valenciennes. The story-line was so predictable: after scoring first through Kembo, Rennes had to concede the equaliser. Uninspired, looking tired, Antonetti’s men could hardly hope for anything better than a draw.

Ligue 1, Toulouse 1 - 0 Stade Rennais. Trailing after Didot opened the score on a free-kick in the first half, Rennes – playing 35 minutes with eleven men against ten – was unable to close the gap. Clumsy and lacking determination, the Rennais have also lost Kana-Biyik, who had to leave the field with an adductors injury.

Ligue 1, Auxerre 0 - 1 Stade Rennais. Without truly dominating, Stade Rennes managed a good performance on the ground of the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps. Defensively solid for once, the “Rouge et Noir” won thanks to a goal by Julien Féret at the end of the game.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 2 - 0 Lorient. At the term of a perfectly controlled game, Rennes returned to winning ways in its stadium. Never really put under pressure, applying a good pressing at midfield, Antonetti’s men managed to score this second goal they had missed so many times at the Route de Lorient in the recent weeks.

Ligue 1, Lille 2 - 0 Stade Rennais. After a dreadful first half, in which they conceded two goals, Rennes showed a better display in the second half, though failing to convert their spells of dominance into goal.
