In another exciting match from the ongoing Ligue 1 season, Rennes secured all three points against Montpellier at Stade de la Mosson on Sunday evening. The result was a resounding victory for the home side as they claimed a 2-0 win.
The match started off with both teams trying to establish their dominance in the opening stages. However, it was Rennes who took the lead in the 25th minute through a well-taken goal from striker Jean-Kévin Augustin. He capitalized on a loose pass from Montpellier's defense and fired a shot past the goalkeeper to give his team the lead.
Montpellier responded immediately to level things up in the 44th minute when winger Anthony Vlaar found himself one-on-one with the Rennes goalkeeper. He coolly slotted the ball into the bottom corner to draw level. But the hosts were not finished yet, as they doubled their lead in the second half.
In the 68th minute, substitute Terrier scored his second goal of the season after receiving a pass from midfielder Maxence Caqueret. His powerful strike was enough to seal the win for Rennes and keep them top of the table.
