Remy Cabella goal in Ligue 1.
Remy Cabella scored his first goal for Marseille to give his side a
deserved 1-0 victory at Rennes in Ligue 1 on Thursday.
The visitors have now only lost one of their last seven league
matches and move up to eighth in the table, leapfrogging their
opponents, who continue a dreadful run of results having won
only one of their last 11.
Cabella – the on-loan Newcastle United attacking midfielder –
scored an impressive goal in the 21st minute, which proved to
be decisive.
After receiving a pass from Mauricio Isla, he cut inside past two
players and fired in a right-footed shot from the edge of the
penalty area which deflected off defender Mexer and found the
far corner.
Rennes struggled as an attacking force, but could have
equalised when Ousmane Dembele seized on a mistake from
Benjamin Mendy but shot into side netting from tight angle
when he had team-mates better placed in the middle.
After the break, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou saw his shot saved by
the legs of Benoit Costil after the pace of Cabella had set up a
counter-attack, before Michy Batshuayi headed over as
Marseille tried to put the result to bed.
Benjamin Andre's thumping header was impressively saved by
Steve Mandanda after Steven Moreira's cross from the right as
Rennes mustered their only effort on target in the 77th minute,
but the away side were worthy winners.
