00:00Coming to the weekend, still unbeaten, with the opportunity to go provisionally top of the table with a win tonight
00:07against Marseille.
00:09If Marseille lose this game, it'll be three straight defeats.
00:13Bruno Genesio's side and the pressure will really be starting to build on them.
00:19With it, I'd say, substitutes this evening, watching on, certainly not the same kind of depth we've become used to
00:28in recent seasons.
00:30For them, for the younger players, among the substitutes tonight for the away team, it's Emerson Palmieri, who strikes it
00:37over the bar.
00:44Samba, reserve goalkeeper for Marseille, some time, made a small handful of appearances for the club between 2014 and 2015.
00:56Weyer to Gomez.
00:58Louis-Bierre.
00:59Great run this down the right from Timothy Weyer.
01:02Flying forward from right back.
01:04From Paixiao, and the edge of the box, it's a good effort from Paixiao and a good save from Brice
01:08Samba to keep Ren on level terms.
01:12We said it, these two teams are pretty good at scoring early in games.
01:18Marseille with the first real chance tonight.
01:21Weyer carving it out.
01:22Great run down the right.
01:24Kicked out Igor Paixiao.
01:25Good shot from Paixiao, but not right in the corner.
01:29That's what enabled Samba to make the set.
01:32Kicked out for Tomasson.
01:34Le Paul rolls for Rangier, really get hold of the shot.
01:38And on time, Rangier, the Rennes captain, not a prolific goal scorer.
01:41Easy save for Jeffrey De Lange.
01:46Offside against Le Paul.
01:49Tomasson into play, and Rangier's shot is easily stopped as the play continues down the other end.
01:56The camera leading it through to Tomasson.
02:01Rangier, great experience in the middle of midfield for Rennes this season with Rangier and Tomasson in there.
02:08Who can get in towards Paul in the middle?
02:13Soumare's header, mostly wide.
02:19Question about Paul's position.
02:22Did he go a fraction of a second too soon initially?
02:24They're allowed to continue.
02:26Soumare, unable to make anything of the chance.
02:29Easily intercepted by Gomez.
02:32Harit.
02:34Miri up ahead.
02:42Zabdeli.
02:45Lining up the long race shot.
02:47He caught it well, but always rising.
02:49Danish international.
02:55To trouble with Samba.
02:58I shall take it.
03:01I want to say attacker from the Amazon.
03:09Ahead of Aguirre is cleared away as far as Timothy Weyer.
03:13He lines up the shot.
03:14It's a great strike from Weyer.
03:16A good save from Samba to tip the ball over.
03:21And he fancied that one.
03:24Some of the great George Weyer.
03:29He's gone in.
03:30I don't know.
03:32It's time spent at PSG.
03:40Emerson's cross in.
03:44Right by Najida.
03:46It's up by Harit.
03:48Possession turned over.
03:49This might be an opportunity on the break.
03:51Maddie camera clearly being held back there by Himand Abdeli.
03:55And he knows what's coming.
03:57Yellow card.
03:58Inevitable.
04:00Marseille on the break.
04:01Gomez out to the right-hand side.
04:03Heupierre lines up the shot.
04:06Heupierre is off target.
04:09The best chances are falling Marseille's way.
04:13Gomez feeding Pierre-Emil Heupierre.
04:17The shot grazing the side.
04:19Netting on its way past.
04:20As we see Franck Hez.
04:21Appointed coach of Rennes in February.
04:24After the sacking of Abbey Bay.
04:27Abbey ended up, of course, becoming the Marseille coach.
04:35From Le Paul all the way across to Franckowski.
04:39Shot blocked by Emerson.
04:44Defending with Charlie Cresswell.
04:46Really high up the pitch.
04:48Very talented young English defender.
04:50He was on loan at Rennes this season.
04:52Toulouse rising his wall.
04:55This is what the first half comes down to.
05:05All men in the wall.
05:20Right back to Blas for the shot.
05:24Aiming for the bottom corner.
05:25But not enough power to beat De Lange.
05:27Who makes a comfortable enough save.
05:30Didn't really get hold of the shot.
05:31Ludwig Blas.
05:33Aiming for the bottom corner.
05:35But not enough power to beat De Lange.
05:37Who makes a comfortable enough save.
05:39Didn't really get hold of the shot.
05:41Ludwig Blas.
05:44Is that for the first half action here in Rennes.
05:47There have been flashes of excitement.
05:49Marseille being the slightly more threatening team.
05:53Second half just about to begin here.
05:55Of his goals.
06:00Marseille getting us underway.
06:03Second half here in Rennes.
06:040-0.
06:05Between these two teams.
06:06Who will both begin their European campaigns.
06:10Next midweek of course.
06:12Again with a chance to break here.
06:13This is Harit on the right.
06:14He has Hojbjerg inside him.
06:17He takes it back to Harit.
06:19He's in behind Najida.
06:21Good save from Brice Samba.
06:22Might still be alive for Angel Gomez.
06:24Who takes a touch.
06:25And puts it over the bar.
06:28Probably should have scored Angel Gomez.
06:31I'll say substitutes watching on.
06:33Down on the touch line.
06:36Patient build up play.
06:37Meticulous.
06:38From Marseille.
06:39Harit forcing the save from Brice Samba.
06:41And then Gomez.
06:44Missing the target.
06:46First and end.
06:47In the top corner.
06:52To score that kind of opportunity.
06:59Sal Tamari.
07:01Looking for an option in the middle.
07:03Miss Andrian Tomasson.
07:05In the first time effort.
07:08Pai Shao.
07:09Tomasson back.
07:11Take the ball away.
07:13From the Brazilian.
07:14Here for Angier.
07:16To the right for Frankowski.
07:23Blas.
07:27Miss again.
07:30Miss from Blas is a good one.
07:32And it's going to fall for the goal.
07:33Surely Tomasson scores it.
07:36Rennes lead against Marseille.
07:48It's a first round goal for Adrian Tomasson.
07:51Captain of the lost team.
07:53That won the French Cup last season.
07:55And finished as runners up behind PSG.
07:59And it has come in one of the biggest games they'll have all season here against the Olympique de Marseille.
08:05Marseille really had been on top in the first half.
08:09But Rennes draw first blood.
08:11Early in the second.
08:13Cross from the right.
08:14Nodded back across the face of goal by Sal Tamari with a little bit of luck thrown in.
08:20And Adrian Tomasson on hand to score the goal.
08:27It's by Najida.
08:30It's kept in here on the right-hand side.
08:32De Lange left it.
08:33The header.
08:34Ludovic Blas saved.
08:36By Jeffrey De Lange.
08:39I expected that De Lange would probably leave Marseille in the summer.
08:42But in the end, the sale of Rulli and Marseille's inability to sign any replacement meant that they had to
08:48keep him.
08:49Here's the first choice.
08:50Egan Reilly striding up into the red half.
08:54Marseille.
08:58Localising goal coming.
09:01Abdelhi into the middle.
09:02Laid off perhaps for Hojbjerg to make it one more.
09:05It's a good save from Samba.
09:06Good football though from the away team.
09:10Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg nearly getting the leveller.
09:14Again, we see Amin Guiri involved in the build-up rather than being the finisher.
09:17Way by way up.
09:19This might be a chance.
09:20Camera.
09:21Esteban Le Paul on the left.
09:24Le Paul go all the way himself.
09:26It's a wild effort from Esteban Le Paul.
09:33A bit too eager to impress this evening.
09:3721 goals in Ligue 1 last season, including the first of those with Angers before he made the move to
09:42Rennes.
09:44In the first three matchdays of this campaign.
09:47It's all right to the right.
09:49Might get a second goal.
09:51Secure all three points.
09:55Getting his head to that.
10:00Goal for Tomasson.
10:02Here's the reverse pass for Szymanski.
10:06Allende with the effort.
10:08So, Allende.
10:10Been paid a lot of money for it to bring in from Sunderland.
10:13It's been a terrific start to the Ligue 1 season for his club.
10:17And they can head off.
10:19Intercontinental action.
10:20Full of confidence.
10:22After a third straight Ligue 1 victory.
10:25They are heading to the top of the table for tonight at least.
10:29Single goal from Adrian Tomasson.
10:31They've been the Brittany team all three points here against Marseille.
10:34It's a third straight defeat for Marseille.
10:46Now we'll be right back.
