The opponent of Panathinaikos, Rennes, was held to a goalless draw at the home of Brest (0-0), in a game that had a good pace and both teams had some good chances in front of the opposing goals, but did not manage to violate them.
Despite all that, they remained in the upper echelons of the table, with the hosts in the Third Place with 7 points, one more than the Brittany club, who are fourth, remaining unbeaten in Ligue 1.
Brest, who have made an impressive start to the season, were better throughout the match, finishing the encounter with 13 final attempts, with just two of them on target. On the other hand, Ren one more towards Bizo’s goal, out of the only 6 he managed to create. Bruno Genesio’s set showed that he has not “tied” yet, while they exist many problems in the midfield area, which brought many dangerous attacks to the hosts.
Top player of the game was also today del Castillo, who already has three goals in four games.
