00:04Kick-off here at Rosa Park.
00:08I'm not quite sure it was exactly what Les Rennais were looking for.
00:14We've seen the rise of rugby.
00:22Feels like there's something brewing in Brittany.
00:25Frankowski, a great ball through, a little flick finds the ball
00:29and he finds the back of the net, which he is just oh so good at.
00:37Well, he hit it out of the park, he gets past Ajeman.
00:40Now he's on the green and putted it perfectly.
00:50How many sports will he get through this season?
00:5321 goals to be the top marksman last term.
00:56He's already two.
00:58Well, no wonder the Vigenois just can't get enough.
01:02Look at this little flick from Adrien Thomasin.
01:04Then strength, poise and an inch perfect arrow of a finish.
01:12The ball breezes then to a 1-0 lead over Le Mans.
01:26Le Mans looking for an immediate response.
01:29And the ball is floating, but Charlie Cresswell.
01:32Oh well, he thought better of swinging at that.
01:35There was already a positive atmosphere before kickoff.
01:39Esteban Le Paul scoring after just five minutes.
01:41Now looking to double up.
01:44It's dead.
01:46It's up and over from all swung in deep.
01:52Kosic managing to come and claim and it's quickly out and away.
01:57Ante Merlin tells Le Metre to stay, but...
02:03All down the line for moving Le Paul, but it's a tad too early.
02:10Gift.
02:12The 1-0 victory over Paris FC.
02:16We're certainly on a high this season.
02:20Liam Rossini.
02:21While Le Mans pick it up and it's outrageous.
02:29He's been caught out here.
02:31There was a chance to play in early for Dan Gay instead.
02:34It's for Mafuta Le Maître.
02:42The break of the ball here.
02:44Le Mans in.
02:45And Gay, I'm not sure he'd held his line.
02:47So it was the right decision to wait for Mafuta.
02:51Excellent play from Luka.
02:55But then trying to rediscover a bit their swagger.
02:59That's beautifully left for Le Paul to run on to.
03:02The ball not quite reaching either.
03:05Szymanski a little bit.
03:07Le Paul back onto it.
03:10Well Tamari wanted the pass.
03:14Pass with precision and now it's down the line.
03:16Into the area.
03:17One and one with Le Maître.
03:19Oh, he didn't seem to go for a goal.
03:22And what a chance Schrom.
03:26Well, it seemed destined for the net.
03:33Amgay across goal.
03:42No, no.
03:44It's about Le Paul.
03:46First touch.
03:47There's a little too much of it to Voyer who has to come across from left to right.
03:54Amgay hits the target and makes it 2-0.
04:01Just moments after Le Mans should have equalized.
04:06Then silenced their visitors with doubling their lead.
04:19And Merlin finding Le Paul.
04:22Good strength.
04:24And back to Szymanski.
04:28He found Rangé.
04:30He didn't need an invitation.
04:33He didn't need an invitation to take this on.
04:37Disguised from Kosek.
04:39He got down too late.
04:42Up successes along the way.
04:47Last time they met in 2009-2010.
04:51It was back to back victories.
04:53But that is a brilliant response.
04:59Well, they thought the game was over.
05:01Le Mans had other ideas.
05:03Mafuta.
05:04On the mark.
05:09Frenquez.
05:10Won't have felt comfortable.
05:12Giving the overall pattern of the play.
05:14Scoring in successive matches.
05:17Well, the last time he scored at Rosa Park was March 2022.
05:22It was a 6-1 defeat.
05:23From this.
05:26This Le Mans side.
05:27The bit between their teeth.
05:30And it is very much.
05:31Game on.
05:32Fren 2.
05:34Le Mans 1.
05:35Is there a chance here to try?
05:37And level things up.
05:39It should have been.
05:42Not quite the anticipation necessary.
05:45But the chance still alive.
05:48And that's what.
05:49Lears.
05:50Great movement in the back pose.
05:52But just got ahead of the ball.
05:57Could have been another form of Futa.
05:59Futa.
06:00No.
06:02Oh.
06:03Go!
06:03Go!
06:06Still there to be won.
06:08Away he gets locked down by his own player.
06:13Angers.
06:15What a great pick out.
06:16Touch and then turn.
06:21He's causing so many troubles.
06:30Swung in with Cresswell under it and Le Paul, he's a ladder, that's this, goes early for
06:38Le Paul, heavy touch but he's managed to hold on to it, Isi Soumari, Rangier, a good challenge
06:47though for Le Paul, Le Paul, it's a little bit of luck but he's trying to make the most
06:55of it, Rangier, Altamari, went early, back to the Jordanian, Le Paul waits on the edge of
07:04the area but look at the yellow shirts waiting, Asi Soumari, great feet from Koscik, Le Paul
07:17making the most of it, great foot from the big keeper, Altamari, got it on target, half-time
07:27at Rosa Park, then went into a 2-0 lead thanks to Esteban Le Paul, second of the season, Valentin
07:35Rangier from the edge of the area.
07:43Back underway, Le Mans made trail, certainly giving Rennes plenty of food for thought, see
07:51if he can do so again, once more he was making that dash to the back post, looks to get
07:58back
07:58on side, if they can get the ball back in the area.
08:06Drills it in low, well it's a hound up, it's all a bit messy.
08:13The hands up from Frankowski, well Roman, Le Sog is coming across, you'd imagine Louis
08:21Mafuta would be one of the favourites to take it.
08:25And is the best team, of them will be one of the characters, let's see that.
08:28We're going to hear with the mics of breath.
08:40Well, dang it, Mafuta at the double, and Le Mans incredibly are level at Rein.
08:59The scoreline both these sides had a match day one but there is an awful long time to
09:08go back with a bang in Liga McDonald's with just the second penalty that Le Maître has
09:23faced it was Kenny Lalla back in 2020 who scored past him this time it's the former mess man
09:32who has even better one there for Charlie Cresswell who steps forward Zemanski
09:40Frankowski reflected wide a bit of composure there from Rangie as La Paul plays a great ball
09:46Tamari has got two options in the box Jordan and Maddie Kamara and instead he brings out a
09:53sensational that is a great start to time in the man and it's a red card oh wow it has
10:03been a matter of
10:04seconds since Jibirah Sidibe stepped onto the field Jibirah Sidibe catches the ankle of it's the band
10:13Nepal but it's the follow-through having just missed the ball that feels it
10:24incredible just a minute after coming on his first challenge had sent off and now Le Mans
10:31trying to make up the gap but they can't Kosek managing to deny Anno Nodan the play stopped for both
10:41players
10:42collision
10:45great pass
10:47made sure he got to the ball first but Kosek off his line to narrow the angle
10:54fairness Noah Boise doing well up to bring Nodan down
11:09the caps under 17 and under 19 level for France alongside Odson Edouard
11:18beds on for his league and McDonald's debut not the first likely not the last for Le Mans
11:28given the experience in the squad but they have come from two goals down
11:33a good sign for Franquez's men it's happened back-to-back weekends but they could still
11:38quite a story that ends with victory you could just watch the ball trundle towards the net
11:46would have been offside very tight Frankowski with a great pick out
11:52Ludovic Blas should have picked out the back of the net
12:01so close
12:03the famous point
12:06unless Wren could break their hearts
12:09the ball on the move lifted over the bar
12:13finished two apiece
12:16looks like being the same unless there's a magnificent finish
12:21well he struck the post denied by William Pacho last weekend now it's the woodwork that's against him
12:36now has space to scan
12:40spreads it to the camera
12:42Modena
12:43by Iendup
12:44on the target and stricke and bubbles around
12:48Nodan how on earth
12:50that's a T
12:52Ienda to Frankowski at bobbled around
12:55Nodan on the folly but into the ground
12:58in fact deflected wide
13:00by a brilliant defensive block
13:03Le Mans putting bodies on the line
13:06for the cause
13:08heading off Nikola Kosek
13:10injured
13:14and now
13:15Rosa
13:17and here he comes

14:10as you like
14:13that foot went the right way
14:15that it wasn't enough
14:24harsh on Loma
