Rennes Claims Victory Over Brest by Penalties, Completes Clean Sheet

Rennes secured their fourth consecutive win in Ligue 1 with a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Brest on Sunday. The game was decided in the penalty shoot-out after the match ended in a goalless draw at the Stade de la Mosson.

The match started off evenly as both teams created chances but failed to convert them into goals. However, Rennes managed to break the deadlock in the 68th minute through a well-taken goal from striker Adama Diomande. The winger's powerful shot found the back of the net and put Rennes ahead.

Brest responded quickly and equalized just four minutes later through a penalty kick awarded for a handball by defender Jules Soweto. The French side were forced to play extra time before Rennes regained the lead in the 95th minute through another Diomande strike. This time, the forward's low shot found the bottom corner of the net and gave Rennes a two-goal advantage.

In the dying seconds of the game, Brest had one last chance to level the score. However, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris made a brilliant save to deny the visitors' best efforts. The result meant that Rennes completed a clean sheet, their fifth straight in all competitions, and moved up to second place in the table.

With this victory, Rennes have shown their resilience and determination to secure top spot in the league. They now face a tough test against Monaco next week, who have been in fine form themselves recently. However, Rennes will be confident of continuing their winning ways and pushing for more victories in the coming weeks.
