Rennes narrowly beat Brest on Sunday in Ligue 1 with a penalty shootout win. The match was played at the Stade de la Beaujoire and saw both teams battle it out for a place in the top half of the table.
In the first half, Rennes had the better of the contest as they created several chances to score. However, Brest were able to hold them off and keep their lead intact. In the second half, things started to get exciting as both teams tried to take control of the game.
With just minutes left to play, Rennes took the lead through a penalty kick from striker Antoine Kombouaré. This gave the home side hope that they could go on to secure victory. Unfortunately, Brest fought back and managed to level the scores just before full-time.
However, in the final moments of extra time, Rennes were awarded a penalty kick after Brest's goalkeeper made an error. Kombouaré stepped up to the spot and converted the penalty, securing a 2-1 win for his team.
The result means that Rennes have now moved into sixth place in the table, just two points behind Lille. They will be hoping to continue their good form when they face Marseille next week. Meanwhile, Brest will need to bounce back from this defeat if they want to stay in the race for a top-half finish.
