Martin Terrier increased the attacks on his left side, fining Jonathan Clauss. He tried a lot, sometimes in vain (30% of duels won) but did not lack initiative, like his decisive breakthrough (21st), which opened the score for Rennes. . He is also at the origin of the “decisive” pass for Truffert, which caused the Rennes penalty (77th). He ultimately largely contributed to Rennes’ victory this Sunday.
Gave a standing ovation in the first half, the Rennes leader was everywhere this Sunday. At the heart of the Breton game, he sometimes lacked technical accuracy but did not forget the essential: to be decisive in the last gesture. He showed composure on the Rennes penalty at the end of the match (78th), deceiving Pau Lopez.
Amine Gouiri will have nightmares. The Marseille central defender, starting alongside Chancel Mbemba, was more than decisive this Sunday. Like two excellent comebacks in the second half (53rd, 57th), he was excellent in the duel (8/10 won), before causing a penalty, following very slight contact with Adrien Truffert. He was also very good at restarting (61/66 successful passes). Overall a very encouraging match for the 22-year-old Frenchman.
Flops
The Moroccan striker collapsed this Sunday at Roazhon Park. Rather successful in passing (25/28 successfully completed), he attempted almost nothing in this meeting, lost five of his nine duels played and only managed one small cross out of three attempted. He made a series of bad choices and failed to worry his former teammate in Marseille, Steve Mandanda.
For their fourth match in eleven days, the second of the week after their defeat at Villarreal on Thursday – ultimately without consequences – the Olympians seemed particularly troubled in this meeting. At the end of the match in particular, the Marseillais completely abandoned the pressing.
The Marseille coach, who arrived in mid-February after his failed CAN with Ivory Coast, remained on three successes in Ligue 1 with OM. He lost for the first time in the league this Sunday, a few days after his defeat at Villarreal (1-3). The truce will do good for the Marseille group.
