Gifted as a hero, Popov at fault

After a very serious match, Stade Rennais logically snatched victory against Dynamo kyiv (2-1). Here are the Tops and Flops of the match.

TOPS

gifted the hero

Stade Rennais were headed for a frustrating draw. It was without counting on his young nugget Désiré Doué. At the very end of the game, the young 17-year-old performs good pressing following an error in recovery from Popov. He accelerates and comes in front of the goalkeeper before taking him on the wrong foot with a fine shot (89th). As soon as he entered the hour mark (63rd), the young striker showed himself very prominent and was recomposed. A goal that allows Stade Rennais to win 2-1 against Dynamo kyiv.

Rennes solidarity

Stade Rennais showed a very good image this Thursday evening. Combative, precise, inspired… Bruno Génésio’s men had a real European Cup match. Offensively, the Rennais got a lot of chances like this action converted by Martien Terrier. Gouiri switches to the left side and serves the Frenchman who had gone deep into the box. The striker continues with a powerful strike from the right which comes to stay in the opposite corner of the goal. A magnificent achievement that results from a splendid possession. Rennes deserved their victory.

FLOPS

Popov condemns his people

The end of the evening must surely be difficult for Popov. While his team holds the draw, the defender makes a serious mistake. He is pressed by Désiré Doué and completely misses his raise. The Rennais took advantage of this and came in front of the goalkeeper to score the winning goal. Popov is solely responsible for this.

kyiv not sharp enough

Beyond the error of their defender, the Ukrainian formation was not really worrying except during the equalizer. Dubinchak deflects a cross from a backheel for Buyalsky who serves Tsygankov. Mandanda stops the striker’s first attempt but not the second. Despite this goal, Dynamo kyiv suffered throughout the game from Rennes’ good pressing. The Ukrainians could not come out, a complicated evening for the Dynamo attackers. Mandanda hardly had to do anything.
