23:00 – The summary of the match
PSG fall in Rennes on the occasion of the 19th day of Ligue 1 (0-1). The meeting started very timidly. The Parisians grabbed the ball but never hindered the five-man defense lined up for the first time by Bruno Genesio. Little by little, Paris lost the thread and the ball. The Bretons seized it and used it better. On several occasions, Gianluigi Donnarumma had to turn into a hero by fending off strikes from Kalimuendo (28th) and Amine Gouiri shortly before returning to the locker room (40th). These opportunities have awakened PSG and Lionel Messi who also has the opportunity to worry Mandanda but Rodon will be on the path of the ball taken back in first intention by the Argentinian (43rd). In the second period, PSG seem to be doing better and are sharper. Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi make their entrance but were not immediately found by their teammates. And while Rennes seems a little more battered, it is during this period that the Bretons will trap the Parisians. Adrien Truffert makes the difference in his lane and sends a cross towards Hamari Traoré who had projected himself into the opposing area. The Rennes captain deceives Donnarumma with an unstoppable cross shot (65′). Four minutes after this goal, Kylian Mbappé has the equalizing ball in his feet. The French international is served perfectly by Messi behind the Rennes defense but misses the target in front of Steve Mandanda (69th). After this huge miss, Paris will go on the attack while the Bretons will hunker down to try to maintain their advantage. And this defensive strategy will eventually pay off. Steve Mandanda is vigilant and repels with a well-inspired tap the only Parisian shot on target of the meeting signed Juan Bernat (81st). Despite a tense end to the game, Rennes held on to victory and became the second Ligue 1 team to beat PSG this season after Lens 9 days ago. In the standings, Paris let the Sang et Or back to three lengths while the Bretons come back up to Monaco in 4th place.
