**Marseille vs Rennes: A Draw After Guendouzi's Goal Disallowed** In the highly anticipated match between Marseille and Rennes on Sunday, both teams showed remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. The game was closely contested until the final whistle, with Marseille narrowly prevailing through a last-minute goal from Guendouzi, who scored after a controversial offside decision. The first half saw Marseille dominate possession, but their offensive opportunities were few and far between. The home side struggled to break down the Rennes defense, which remained composed despite facing several challenges. On the other hand, Rennes controlled possession for most of the second half, creating numerous chances that they failed to capitalize on. However, it was Marseille who took the lead in the 78th minute when Guendouzi found himself in space. He received a pass from N'Golo Kanté and managed to find the back of the net without any opposition. However, this goal was initially ruled out due to a controversial offside call. The video replay showed that Guendouzi had indeed been offside at the time of scoring, but the referee deemed it acceptable based on the interpretation of the rules. Despite this setback, Marseille continued to press for a winner late into the game. They applied pressure on Rennes' defense, forcing them to make several crucial saves. In the 91st minute, Marseille finally broke through, with Antoine Griezmann finding the net after receiving a perfect cross from Moussa Sissoko. This equalizing goal secured a hard-fought draw for Marseille, leaving both sides disappointed with the outcome. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams showing great spirit and determination throughout. Marseille's ability to come from behind and score a late equalizer showcased their character and resilience. Meanwhile, Rennes demonstrated their strength in possession and their ability to create chances, even if they couldn't convert them. This result leaves both teams with valuable points and sets up a potential tiebreaker in their league standings. The next game will be a must-win for both teams as they aim to secure their position in the top four. With Marseille still holding onto their top-four hopes and Rennes looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss against Lille, the upcoming fixtures will be eagerly awaited by fans across France. |
