The French Ligue 1 match between Rennes and Montpellier ended in a thrilling 2-0 victory for Rennes, who have now won four consecutive games.
The match started off with both teams looking to take control of the game from the beginning. However, it was Rennes who took the lead first in the 35th minute through a goal from Yann M'Vila. The midfielder played a beautiful cross into the box which found its way past Montpellier's goalkeeper.
Montpellier responded well to their early setback as they tried to equalize the score. However, their efforts were in vain as Rennes held firm and kept the ball away from danger.
In the second half, Rennes continued to dominate the game and increased their lead in the 69th minute when a corner kick was headed home by Moussa Diaby. This goal was the icing on the cake for Rennes, who have now secured back-to-back victories against Montpellier this season.
Rennes coach René Girard praised his team's performance after the match, saying that they had shown great resilience and determination throughout the game. "We knew that Montpellier would be tough competition, but we came out strong and played our best football," he said.
For Montpellier, the defeat will be a bitter pill to swallow as they have struggled to find their form recently. The club has been struggling to maintain their top-four position in the league table, and this defeat could further damage their chances of securing a Champions League spot.
Overall, Rennes' win is a significant one for them as they look to continue their momentum going forward. They will now face Paris Saint-Germain next weekend, and it remains to be seen if they can延续 their winning ways.
