On Saturday evening, Rennes FC secured their first win of the season with a narrow victory over Brest. The match ended in a goalless draw after 90 minutes of play, but the tension was high as both teams went into extra time and then penalties.
In the end, it was Rennes who emerged victorious, scoring a late equalizer to secure the three points. The winning goal came from a header from substitute Nicolas Pepe, who had come on for the injured Yann M'Vila just before half-time.
The result was a huge boost for Rennes, who have struggled this season with injuries and poor form. But they were able to hold on for a vital win, and the players will be looking forward to playing at home again next week.
For Brest, it was another frustrating night. They played well throughout the game and created plenty of chances, but ultimately could not find the back of the net. The defeat means that they remain bottom of the Ligue 1 table, but there is still hope for them to turn things around.
Overall, it was a tough night for all involved, but Rennes should take heart from their victory. It's clear that they have the potential to challenge for honours this season, and with some key players returning to fitness, there is no reason why they can't do so.
