Wow, what a match! Rennes absolutely dominated Toulouse in the Coupe de la Ligue quarter-finals, winning 4-2 at Roazhon Park.
Rennes came out firing, with early goals from Bourigeaud and a Yago own goal setting the tone. Toulouse fought back brilliantly, with goals from Gradel and Toivonen, but Rennes's relentless attacking pressure proved too much. Hunou scored twice in the closing stages, securing a convincing victory for the home side.
Rennes's approach was all about relentless pressing, keeping Toulouse on the back foot. Their attacking players were exceptionally sharp, creating chance after chance. Toulouse, while they showed some great fight, struggled to maintain possession and seemed to lack the finishing touch to fully capitalize on the opportunities they created.
The most exciting moments were undoubtedly the goals and substitutions in the second half, which added to the tension and kept the crowd engaged. The back-and-forth action certainly kept the game interesting, despite Rennes ultimately proving too strong.
This win puts Rennes in a great position for the next stage. They'll be looking to build on this performance and continue their impressive run.
