On Sunday, Rennes secured a hard-fought victory over Nice in Ligue 1 Round 20, thanks to a brace from Adama Traore and goals from Jonathan Ikoné and Jonathan Bamba.
The match was a tense affair, with both teams pushing for an early lead. However, it was Rennes who took control midway through the first half, as Traore opened the scoring after only two minutes on the pitch. The winger's shot found the top corner, giving Rennes the lead they needed to secure three points.
Nice responded in the second half, but their efforts were thwarted by a determined Rennes defense. It wasn't until the final moments of the game that Nice finally managed to break through, with a goal from Jonathan Bamba. But it was too little, too late, as Rennes held onto their advantage to secure all three points.
With this win, Rennes moved up to third place in the league table, just one point behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain. The team is now aiming to build on this success, with another tough test coming up against Monaco next weekend.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Rennes, who showed great resilience and determination throughout the match. With their attacking prowess and strong defensive record, there's no doubt that they'll continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming seasons.
