The French Ligue 1 match between Rennes and Angers on Saturday saw Rennes secure a much-needed victory, with goals from Anthony Terrier and Maxence Truffert sealing the deal in the dying minutes of the game.

Terrier's goal was a testament to his clinical finishing skills as he controlled a through ball from Moussa Diabaté before calmly slotting home past Angers goalkeeper Yohann Cabot. The second goal came courtesy of Truffert who scored after only three minutes on the pitch, capitalizing on some poor defending by Angers to give Rennes a deserved lead going into half-time.

The result was a welcome relief for Rennes who had been winless in their last two games, leaving them just one point above the relegation zone. The win also helped Rennes move up to sixth place in the table, giving them hope of securing a spot in Europe next season.

For Angers, it was a disappointing day as they fell to their third defeat in four matches. The visitors struggled to create any meaningful chances against Rennes' solid defence, with Cabot making several crucial saves to keep the scoreline level throughout the game.

Despite the loss, Angers will be encouraged by the fact that they have now played seven consecutive league games without a win, which is their longest run since the 2015-16 campaign. They will need to pick themselves up and get back to winning ways if they want to avoid being relegated at the end of the season.

Overall, the match was a thrilling display of football with both sides putting in strong performances. Rennes will be hoping to build on this win and continue their upward momentum while Angers will look to bounce back from their recent defeats and try and maintain their position in the top half of the table.
