2021-08-08T13:17:04.673Z


Rennes and Lens, respectively 6th and 7th in Ligue 1 last season, delivered a pleasant and balanced match, without many chances u


The individual achievement of the new Rennais Kamaldeen Sulemana, scorer after 13 minutes, gave a glimpse of an open match.

Unfortunately, it was not between two well organized teams and largely on their guard.

What you must remember

The Bretons struck first thanks to their young recruit, Kamaldeen Sulemana, 19.

Launched on the left side from the center line, the Ghanaian striker advanced to the opponent's area.

There, he got rid of the Lensois defender, Fortes, to deliver a magnificent curled shot with the right foot, flush with the left post of Leca (1-0, 14th).

Five minutes later, Lens replied by exploiting an awkwardness of the Rennes defense.

In his area, Aguerd was stolen the ball by Banza, who served Fofana perfectly on the left side for the equalizer (1-1, 19th).

After the hour of play, the opportunities were more numerous and frank, slightly in favor of Lens.

However, Doku could have benefited from a delayed penalty, for an alleged slight mowing on the part of Clauss but after viewing, the referee did not reconsider his decision (79th).

We were playing in the 14th minute when Sulemana scored her first sumptuous goal in the red and black jersey. Celebrated goal of a somersault. The rest of the time, Sulemana showed himself to his advantage thanks to a big activity on both sides of the Rennes attack, before giving way to Jérémy Doku (58th). The Breton club blew this good dribbling winger to Ajax Amsterdam and a few interested Premier League clubs. Rennes spent € 15m and hired him for the next five seasons. "He scores goals and knows how to make the last pass," said Florian Maurice, Rennes' sporting director, about him. He has enormous qualities, speed and percussion.We managed to do what was necessary to attract him to Rennes. Which at the beginning was not necessarily something obvious ... "
