This defeat was a shock for Marseille. |
In the early morning of August 16, Ludovic Blas's decisive goal in the 90+1 minute caused Roberto De Zerbi's team to leave the away field empty-handed, leaving many regrets due to the lack of sharpness in the attack. The match seemed to be leaning towards Marseille from the 31st minute, when Rennes defender Ait-Boudlal received a direct red card after a rough foul on Murillo.
The referee's decision, confirmed by VAR, left Rennes with 10 men and gave Marseille a huge opportunity to take control of the game. According to L'Équipe , Marseille had 62% possession and 15 shots (4 on target) throughout the match, compared to Rennes' eight shots (2 on target).
With the advantage of more men, Marseille pressed hard to find the opening goal. At the end of the first half, midfielder Adrien Rabiot hit the post. In the second half, Murillo continued to make Marseille fans regret when his shot once again hit the woodwork.
Unable to take advantage of the golden opportunity, the visitors paid the price in injury time when Blas took advantage of the opportunity to score the only goal of the match. In this match, Greenwood was on the field from the start but played poorly. He could not make a difference against a disciplined and tight Rennes defense.
New signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, despite coming on in the 63rd minute, could not help Marseille make a difference. The 0-1 defeat to Rennes was an early warning for Marseille, a team with high ambitions for the 2025/26 Ligue 1 season.
