Seven minutes that settled it
Rennes were level for the first half hour at the Roazhon Park on Sunday, then the match tilted fast. Dia put the hosts ahead in the 34th minute, and the goal stood after a VAR review. Szymanski doubled the lead in the 41st, and the home side went into the break two goals clear.
Szymanski finished the job in the 61st minute for his second of the afternoon, and Strasbourg never found a way back. Franck Haise’s team won 3-0.

A game Strasbourg controlled on paper
The numbers do not match the scoreline. Strasbourg had 53% of possession and completed 536 passes to Rennes’ 476. Rennes had five shots on target to the visitors’ four, which is a thin margin for a three-goal win, and the difference came from who finished the chances that mattered.
It was a rough day for Strasbourg in the details as well. They committed 17 fouls to Rennes’ 10, and Yassine, Reyna and Diop all went into the referee’s book, while Dia was the only Rennes player booked.
