Things are going badly in Rennes. In difficulty in the championship, Jorge Sampaoli’s men were pitifully knocked out of the Coupe de France this Wednesday evening by Troyes (1-0). Thanks to a goal from Rafiki Said (56e), ESTAC joins the 8e final for the first time since the 2017/2018 season. The Bretons, who have failed everything, are getting bogged down in the crisis.
In the 100% Ligue 1 poster, Brest dominated FC Nantes (2-1). Eric Roy’s troops, who had control over a large part of the match, took the lead thanks to Sima (24e) and Chardonnet (34e).
