Right after the opening whistle, PSG continuously exerted pressure towards Rennes’ goal. When Mbappe and the attacking stars had yet to make their mark, the duo of Vitinha and Hakimi took turns to shine with goals, helping the reigning champions take a 2-0 lead.
Moving into the second half, Gouiri reduced the deficit to 1-2, reigniting hope for Rennes to secure a point. However, in the 58th minute, Kolo Muani quickly reestablished a 2-goal advantage. It’s worth noting that the French forward, who had recently been substituted for Goncalo Ramos, made an impact.
In the remaining time, Rennes struggled to find their way into PSG’s goal and ultimately accepted a 1-3 defeat. With this result, Luis Enrique’s team remains in 3rd place in Ligue 1 (15 points/8 matches), trailing Nice by 1 point and Monaco by 2 points.
