Stade Rennais vs AJ Auxerre

Rennes bounced back from their Lyon setback in style, blitzing Auxerre 4-1 at Roazhon Park. The standout moment came right at the death, as a routine win turned into a rout thanks to a stunning stoppage-time double. Esteban Lepaul opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a brilliant outside-of-the-foot volley, before Cameron Archer pounced on a loose clearance to level things for Auxerre in the 25th. Adrien Thomasson restored the hosts' lead on 53 minutes, heading home a Bryan Reynolds cross, and with the visitors holding firm in a disciplined low block, the game looked set to finish 2-1. Instead, Boulaye Dia struck twice in injury time (90+2' and 90+4') to turn a narrow win into a landslide. The result lifts Rennes onto the podium, just a point off leaders Monaco, and proves they can shrug off a bad result and dominate at home. For Auxerre, it's a harsh scoreline given their resistance for long stretches, but a costly defeat nonetheless.
