A Martin Terrier still decisive, the bluffing performance of Amari Traoré or an MHSC which still cannot revive a positive dynamic: the tops and flops of Montpellier-Rennes (2-4).
Tops
Martin Terrier continues its momentum
Author of a very good match this evening, he was much more prominent than his attacking partner Gaétan Laborde, with whom he shares second place in the Ligue 1 scorers’ rankings this evening (13 goals). Omnipresent in the offensive phases of Stade Rennais, Martin Terrier very quickly made his mark in this match and slammed an unstoppable header from the 8th minute of play. a Rennes goal, causing a foul in the Montpellier area. A penalty transformed by Laborde from which the Montpellier residents will not recover.
Traoré was in his garden
Double decisive passer on the first two goals of Stade Rennais, Amari Traoré was a real poison in his right lane. The Malian right side has chained back and forth on his side, sometimes switching with Bourigeaud to find himself in the position of right attacking midfielder.
Spectacular goals and a crazy game
6 goals, a volley and an acrobatic return, that’s what the highly anticipated clash between MHSC and Stade Rennais gave us. This match is the perfect example of a particularly hotly contested Ligue 1 this year where nothing is yet decided 12 days from the end. First trailing 2-0, Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men woke up the whole stadium by coming back up to Rennes just before half-time thanks to two sublime goals. Unfortunately for the people of Montpellier, this “comeback” will be in vain since Rennes will definitely regain the advantage after returning from the locker room. France proves that it is not first in the UEFA ranking for nothing!
Flops
Montpellier still can not chain
Another setback for the Montpellier residents who can no longer regain their form from last December. After a defeat against ASSE, LOSC and a meager victory against Lorient, MHSC conceded another setback, at home moreover.
The absent missed
Without the boss Mamadou Sakho and the twirling Stephy Mavididi, the MHSC still suffered a lot. Behind it was far too feverish. Nicolas Cozza seemed overwhelmed, especially on the first goal where no one is marking Martin Terrier, alone at the penalty spot. In front, Germain was ghostly in his role a little more eccentric, and the explosiveness that a Mavididi could bring was felt.
