The VAR technology showed its advantages in the last Ligue 1 game. It allowed the Belgian Malik Fofana, who sent a ball in the skylight at the 12th minute to open the score. The VAR also prevented the Stade Rennais from defeating the Lyonnais in the Rhône, with three goals that were wrongly rejected in the second period.

However, there are few positive things to remember from the game for Stade Rennais. The players were humiliated 4-1 with three goals cashed from the first half, and appeared groggy throughout the game, except perhaps the first ten minutes that were barely correct.

Faced with a Lyon team that was far superior in talent and determined to recover after two previous defeats, Stade Rennais lacked intensity and will. The performance of Rennes players was disappointing, with a technical void and a tactical desert on the ground.

The four goals scored by the Lyonnais were all magnificent, each in his field. Fofana’s first goal was a wonder, while Tolisso’s second goal was perfectly executed by a 20-metre strike. The third goal scored by Lacazette was a quick transition model.

Despite the gift given by Almada at the beginning of the second period for the second goal of Meité in Ligue 1, the Rennais didcilely tense the other cheek and were overtaken each Lyon offensive. The outcome of the match is therefore poor, with a further confirmation of the team’s shortcomings and shortcomings against a calibrated opponent.

Stade Rennais is saved but must finish the championship with dignity without distorting the results. The near future and next season are to be built on the ground and perhaps also on the bench, where doubt persists as to the continuation of the history with Habib Beye after such a performance.

Players are all convinced behind their coach but will have to do better than at the Groupama Stadium to build confidence in him. The last three games of the season will be important to work already for the coming months and a major reconstruction to bounce back.
