Ticket validated for the 16th finals
Qualification in the round of 16 of the Europa League was one of the evening's objectives for Stade Rennais, who went for it by winning by the smallest of margins (0-1) against Dynamo kyiv.
However, a small alignment of the planets was needed, since in addition to beating Dynamo kyiv, the Bretons also had to count on a victory for Fenerbahçe on the lawn of Larnaca.
The Turks managed to win on the wire (1-2) in Cyprus, also winning their ticket for the knockout phase.
Who?
Whoa!
Arrived late this summer from RC Lens, the young Franco-Cameroonian defender Christopher Wooh (21) scored his first goal in his new colors… for his first tenure!
In a closed match, he delivered his own by taking a corner kick struck by Benjamin Bourigeaud (48th).
It is also his first goal in the European Cup.
What to shake up the usual titular Theate-Rodon hinge?
FLOPS
The usual substitutes have been shy
A very busy schedule obliges, Bruno Génésio had made a few rotations for this trip to Krakow.
Assignon, Wooh and Meling were starters in defense, as were Ugochukwu and Majer in the middle, or Gifted in attack.
Apart from Wooh, decisive, these players who had everything to gain did not make a very strong impression, and the Bretons even seemed to lack juice and desire, especially in the first period.
Not enough to give their coach headaches.
0 points for Dynamo Kyiv
With four defeats in four games, Dynamo kyiv is coming out the back door of this Europa League.
The context is obviously extremely difficult with the ongoing war in Ukraine which has notably forced the organizers to relocate this match to Poland, and Mircea Lucescu's men fought with their means.
But we could expect a little more from this team used to playing European games every year.
