Ligue 1 Round 3 saw two teams battling it out in the top flight of French football, as Rennes faced off against Montpellier. The match was a closely contested affair, with both sides putting in solid performances.
Rennes, who had won their previous game, were looking to continue their momentum and secure a positive result. However, they found themselves trailing early on, as Montpellier took the lead through a goal from substitute Alexandre Lacazette. Despite being behind, Rennes fought back and equalized through a penalty awarded for a handball by Montpellier's goalkeeper.
From there, the game went back and forth, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert them into goals. It was only until the second half that Rennes found their breakthrough, with a goal from substitute Adama Traoré. The goal proved to be decisive, as Rennes held onto their lead throughout the remainder of the game.
In terms of individual performances, it was Rennes' forward Anthony Terrier who shone brightest. He scored two goals in the match, helping his team to victory. His first goal came in the 44th minute, as he scored after a well-taken free-kick. His second goal came just before halftime, as he converted a low shot into the bottom corner of the net. Terrier's two goals helped him become the top scorer in Ligue 1 so far this season.
Overall, Rennes' win was a much-needed boost for the team, who had struggled in recent weeks. They will now look to build on this success as they face off against other teams in the upcoming fixtures. Meanwhile, Montpellier will have to regroup and work on improving their performance if they hope to turn things around and compete at the highest level.
