In a thrilling match played at Stade de Rennes on Sunday night, the hosts Rennes secured all three points with a 2-0 victory over their local rivals Angers. The result was a much-needed boost for Rennes who had been struggling recently, having lost two consecutive matches.

The game began brightly for Rennes as they took control of the contest from the start. They created several opportunities early on but were unable to find the back of the net until the second half when they finally broke through.

The first goal came after just 45 minutes when a corner kick found its way into the box where Rennes striker Théo Hernandez headed it past Angers' goalkeeper. The second goal came four minutes later when a cross from the left flank was met by winger Jérémy Ménez who volleyed home from close range.

Angers tried their best to mount a comeback but could not find the equalizer as Rennes held firm and secured a comfortable win. It was a much-needed win for Rennes who now sit in eighth place in the table with 19 points, while Angers remain in 18th place with just six points.

The result also ended the two-game winless run of both teams, which had seen them struggle to find form in recent weeks. However, it's clear that both sides will need to improve if they hope to make a push up the table in the coming months.

Overall, this was a closely contested match that showcased the quality of both teams. Both Rennes and Angers showed resilience and determination throughout, but ultimately Rennes emerged victorious. It remains to be seen whether this is a turning point in their respective seasons or just one of many tough battles ahead.
