Rennes secures victory over Marseille in the opening match of Ligue 1

  • Rennes secured a victory 1:0 in the match against Marseille.
  • Blas scored the winning goal in injury time.
  • Marseille failed to capitalize on several good chances to score.

This was reported by L'Équipe, Terrikon.

On August 15, 2025, Rennes achieved an important victory over Marseille in the opening of the new season of Ligue 1. After the team Rennes remained in the minority for 31 minutes due to a red card shown to young footballer Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal, they managed to hold on under pressure from the super team.

Marseille dominated the match, making 24 attempts on goal, but only managed to score twice. Two of the shots hit the Rennes goal frame, indicating the ineffectiveness of Marseille's attacking line. In particular, shots from Adrien Rabiot and a goal from Amir Murillo did not lead to success.

In the 90+1 minute of the match, Rennes scored the decisive goal. Blas, who was previously in the Marseille squad, brought his team the victory, causing joy in the stands of the Roazhon Park.

This result is morally significant for Rennes, which started the season on a positive note, regardless of the difficulties that the team faced during the game.
