Rennes is back in the top six of Ligue 1 after their stellar performance against Lyon on Sunday. The Terriers secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over their opponents at Stade de la Beaujoire, with goals from Emmanuel Macron and Maxence Lacroix.
The win was a much-needed boost for Rennes, who had been struggling in recent weeks. The team has struggled to find consistency this season, but they have shown glimpses of their potential in recent matches.
Macron's goal was a testament to his form as he rose highest to head home a corner kick from the left wing. The goal came just before halftime, and it gave Rennes the lead they needed to secure the three points.
Lacroix added to the lead in the second half, curling a shot into the bottom right-hand corner of the net to seal the victory. The goal was well taken and showed that Rennes' defense is solid enough to hold up against any attack.
With this result, Rennes has moved up to sixth place in Ligue 1, just one point behind fifth-placed Monaco. The team now has a chance to close the gap on their rivals and make a push for European glory.
Rennes' success has come despite some key injuries to key players such as Jonathan Bamba and Yohan Cabaye. However, the team has managed to keep its heads together and stay focused on their goal of securing a spot in Europe.
With only seven games remaining in the league season, Rennes will be looking to continue their winning ways and build on their current position. They have the ability to challenge for the title and make a real impact in Europe, and fans can expect them to do so once again this season.
