Majer dazzled the whole Roazhon Park.


He is 23 years old, he is Croatian and he was undoubtedly unknown to the general public before this Sunday evening. Arrived last summer, Lovro Majer blew away all observers with his disconcerting technical ease. With his silky left foot, he delighted by offering several good services for his partners, like his free kick for Laborde which brought the second Rennes goal. For his very first start in Ligue 1, he was up to the task. Promising for the rest of his Rennes adventure.

Laborde is in his fifties


The striker is undoubtedly the good Rennes pick.

Since his arrival two months ago, Gaëtan Laborde has done a lot of good in the offensive animation of Stade Rennais.

Weighing heavily on opposing defenses, he has already scored 8 goals this season in Ligue 1, including 5 with his new club.

Author of a header that launched his team (45th), his 50th goal in Ligue 1, he was then involved on the second goal with a kickback countered in extremis.

If he missed other attempts (27th, 33rd), he fully succeeded in his evening.

Once again.

Traoré, brilliant captain


The Rennes right-back also managed a full performance.

Switching off the activity of Toko Ekambi or Aouar without any problem, Traoré regularly brought danger and scored Rennes' second goal by being opportunistic.

Also involved on 3rd base, he was an exemplary captain.

Truffert, the last minute guest


What a start for the young Adrien Truffert.

A few seconds after replacing Martin Terrier, the newcomer was incredibly nerve-racking, scoring a brace in seven minutes.

First on a remarkable end (76th), then by being lucid to conclude a quick action at the end of the race (83rd).

A real executioner of OL at the end of the match.

Lopes will have delayed the deadline


The Lyon goalkeeper will undoubtedly have been the only one up to his team.

Because without him, OL could even have scored other goals.

Author of 5 saves in the first period, he delayed the deadline but sank like his partners at the end of the match.

FLOPS

Lyon was irrelevant


OL spent a complicated evening on the lawn at Roazhon Park to say the least. Jostled in great width, the Lyonnais never found the resources to react. One can wonder about the starting eleven aligned by Bosz, who had chosen to abandon his usual 4-2-3-1 for a more defensive 4-3-3. The attackers thus lacked support and the offensive change made at the break (Slimani instead of Guimaraes) did not change anything. As if the Rhone had already abdicated at the break.

Aouar, great disappointment


Having returned to form in recent weeks, Houssem Aouar was expected to be Lucas Paqueta's ideal companion.

Except that the midfielder trained in Lyon sank on the lawn of Roazhon Park.

Unable to influence the debates, he seemed completely overwhelmed by the aggressiveness put on by the Rennes residents.

One of the many disappointments of this OL this Sunday evening.
