رين يتفوق على غانغون في مباراة ودية

Stade Rennais made the perfect start to their friendly clash against Guingamp at Roazhon Park on Wednesday afternoon. The home side stamped their authority early, with Ismaël Soumaré breaking the deadlock in the 11th minute to set the tone for what would be a dominant display. The crowd settled into their seats for what promised to be an entertaining pre-season encounter between two Breton rivals.

The visitors struck back swiftly through Sada Kielt, who levelled from the penalty spot in the 18th minute after a handball in the Rennais box. Just seven minutes later, however, Rennais reclaimed their lead through Enzo Lepaul's effort on 25 minutes, and from that point onwards they controlled the rhythm of the match. Guingamp fought hard but struggled to match the hosts' intensity and creativity in the middle third.

Rennais never relinquished their grip on proceedings despite Guingamp's occasional threatening moments. The home side's defence remained solid throughout, while their attacking players continued to probe for openings down either flank. The match settled into a comfortable pattern for the hosts, who managed the game shrewdly without allowing their guests to generate genuine chances to trouble goalkeeper Dogan Alemdar.

David Cissé put the result beyond doubt with a clinical finish in the 81st minute, securing a convincing 3-1 victory for Rennais. The result will provide valuable preparation for both clubs ahead of their competitive fixtures, though the hosts will feel they showed enough attacking prowess to build confidence during the campaign ahead.
