Amine Gouiri opened the scoring with a penalty kick into the net in the 19th minute. However, twenty minutes later the locals managed to equalize. Martin Terrier headed the ball into the net.
After the change of sides less than a quarter of an hour the visitors were in the lead again. This time it was Flavius Daniliuc who took advantage of Gouiri’s pass.
As it turned out, the Austrian’s goal gave his team three points and broke a nightmarish series of three consecutive league defeats. Rennes, meanwhile, had not won in Ligue 1 for five games.
