Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Stade Rennais snatched a 3-2 Ligue 1 win over Le Mans, with Esteban Lepaul's second goal in the 90th minute deciding a frantic contest. Rennes led 2-0 inside 26 minutes, were pegged back by a Louis Mafouta double, then won it late.

Lepaul opened the scoring in the 5th minute from Adrien Thomasson's assist, and Valentin Rongier doubled the lead in the 26th minute after Issa Soumaré's setup. Louis Mafouta pulled one back for Le Mans in the 30th minute, then equalised in the 54th minute. After Djibril Sidibé was sent off in the 68th minute, Lepaul struck again in the 90th minute to seal the win.

Rennes dominated the ball with 64% possession and had 22 shots to Le Mans' 12, yet Le Mans' expected-goals figure of 2.99 was actually higher than Rennes' 2.68. Lepaul's brace made the difference, while both goalkeepers were busy — Le Mans' made five saves to Rennes' three.
