On the way to a great victory in Lille, Rennes stalled against John David this Sunday (2-2).
Stade Rennais can harbor many regrets after its spectacular draw in Lille, this Sunday, as part of the 25e day of Ligue 1 (2-2). For a very long time the Bretons believed they had plenty of points in northern lands. This was without taking into account the determination of the house scorer, Jonathan David.
Returning to business in recent weeks after a very discreet start to the season, the Mastiffs striker allowed his team to keep the valiant Rennais in check, who in the first period were able to take comfort in Villeneuve d’Ascq thanks to Blas ( 0-1, 1e) and Kalimuendo (0-2, 20e).
In the footsteps of Mbappé
In money time, the Canadian striker struck twice (1-2, 84e then 2-2, 90e+2), thus depriving the Reds and Blacks of a victory which should have given them a return to the gates of Europe. A double which brings his total in Ligue 1 this season to 14 goals. Or the second performance of this exercise, seven points behind leader Kylian Mbappé.
Losc therefore limits the damage, by taking back fourth place – and its ticket for the preliminary rounds of the C1 – from RC Lens, three lengths from the podium. Stade Rennais, for its part, remains eighth, alongside OM who welcome Nantes to the Vélodrome in the evening. Four points from the first European ticket for the hour held by Nice.
