After a lively first period, Saint-Etienne and Rennes are back to back (1-1), this Thursday, during the second semi-final of the Coupe de France.
Rather to their technical advantage in the first minutes, the Rennais quickly suffered enemy assaults. Cabaye, on a free kick, then on a dive ball pushed away in extremis by Da Silva, and Diony, gave chills to Mendy. Opportunities that pushed visitors to pass the second and make a difference. On a devastating dribble, Raphinha pushed Saliba to the fault and left Niang the leisure to transform his penalty into force (0-1, 33rd).
Despite this blow, the Cauldron continued to push its favorites. But with confidence at its lowest and facing a coherent Breton team that waited low to explode on the counter, the task was complicated very seriously. Julien Stéphan’s men, well established, were more and more aggressive in their interventions. That did not prevent Kolodziejczak, quicker than N’Zonzi, to equalize with an uneducational whim in the small net (1-1, 43rd).
