During this 8th day of Ligue 1, Marseille and Rennes parted ways in a 1-1 draw at the Vélodrome.

Rare fact, it is the same scorer who scored for Rennes and Marseille.

Mattéo Guendouzi scored against his camp before managing to thwart Steve Mandanda.

Olympique de Marseille remains leader of Ligue 1 for the moment. 

The first period for Rennes, the second for OM and a point for each: Bretons and Provençaux separated in a 1-1 draw on Sunday at the Vélodrome during the 8th day of Ligue 1, in which Marseille are still undefeated and temporarily leader.

Equality therefore and identical scorer, Guendouzi having scored against his side then in the good goal, the one kept by Steve Mandanda, back in Marseille in the Rennes jersey.

The one who protected the Marseille cage 613 times, a record, was acclaimed by his former public, whom he greeted before and after the match and who chanted for him "Il Fenomeno", the song which has been dedicated to him since. years in Marseilles.

In the end, the result seems quite fair and logical between two teams tired by the repetition of matches and undoubtedly marked by the European results of the week, Marseille having been beaten by Frankfurt in the Champions League (0-1) and Rennes held in check by Fenerbahçe in the Europa League (2-2).

Hanging at home, OM may be disappointed, but as the international break arrives, the Marseillais complete a successful first game of the championship undefeated, with six wins and two draws.

Before the matches of Lens and PSG on Sunday evening, they are even provisionally at the top of the championship.

Rennes dominates

All the "Europeans" in Ligue 1 stick out their tongues a little after a terrible streak of seven matches in three weeks, but at the Vélodrome, Rennes have long seemed more dashing than OM, despite two days less recovery.

Well into the match, Bruno Genesio's men pressed OM hard, whose play throughout the first period considerably lacked speed and left Alexis Sanchez very lonely up front.

Behind him, Mattéo Guendouzi then confirmed his limits in the high position while Amine Harit did no better than Dimitri Payet or Gerson on Tuesday against Frankfurt.

The Marseille N.10 and the Brazilian had missed almost everything and paid for it with a stint on the sidelines, but it's as if at the moment, Igor Tudor never fell just when it came to choosing the names of those who will compose the line of two of his 3-4-2-1.

Until the break, it was therefore the Bretons who were the most dangerous with first chances signed Arthur Theate from a corner, Adrien Truffert with a low shot or Flavien Tait with a header.

Very disappointing

The Rennes goal then arrived quite logically, after a rush from Hamari Traoré, whose cross was pushed into Pau Lopez's net by Guendouzi, scorer against his side (1-0, 25th).

Just after, Lopez saved in front of Gouiri and OM were on the verge of breaking despite a handful of moderately clear chances, signed Guendouzi (8th) or Nuno Tavares (17th and 23rd).

The second period, on the other hand, was therefore almost entirely Marseille, to the point that Rennes considerably slowed down the game at the end of the match, obviously very happy with this point taken.

In the 52nd minute, OM equalized through Guendouzi, who therefore caught up with a header at the near post from a corner remarkably struck by Jordan Veretout, until then very far from the level of the French team, when he is preparing to join the Blues.

Installed in the Rennes camp, determined and dominating, OM were not however extraordinarily dangerous.

On both benches, there were also players to hurt, but neither Payet, Cengiz Under or Luis Suarez on one side, nor Lovro Majer, Jérémy Doku or Arnaud Kalimuendo on the other could not influence the match. .
