00:00Two teams in desperate need of a Ligue 1 victory, faced off in the west of France today.

00:09100km and just one point separate Rennes and Angers, both struggling against relegation

00:14ahead of the winter break.

00:19Rennes looking to give their fans something before Christmas, a bit of a Christmas present

00:24for them.

00:25Rennes have been decent at home but very poor away and they want three points ahead of the

00:31winter break.

00:32Hakim Ben El Hadj just making sure everything is in order.

00:36We are underway, it's Rennes against Angers, three precious points up for grabs.

00:42The last day of action before the winter break, Rennes have lost four of their last five without

00:47scoring a goal and Angers have won two of their last three on the road.

00:55Three precious points then, Rennes would start as narrow favourites, they've been in

01:00decent form at home but they've really struggled away.

01:04It's interesting to see where the number 18, Naguida, starts, it looks like it's on the

01:10left side of the defence.

01:12A lot of talk in this part of the world about whether Rennes would play with a back three

01:16or back four.

01:17It looks like it's three with Truffaut on the left hand side, that was an option for

01:21Sampaoli.

01:23A bit of momentum, the team in red, Hattaboa, Assegnon, too much help, it does come to Ludovic

01:32Blass, Ludovic Blass into the arms of the keeper.

01:38First chance to really run at the back four of Angers, Ludovic Blass, Granbeck and Rennes

01:46have the equaliser, no, yes, it's gone in.

01:50There were no huge celebrations but Albert Granbeck got his head on the end of a super

01:56cross from Ludovic Blass and Rennes have the lead.

02:07For once, Rennes finding some space in the Angers defence, header from Granbeck, just

02:12look at this break, Steve Mondonda just saw that there might have been a bit of a possibility

02:17there with Angers throwing players forward, Ludovic Blass, as cool as you like, whipped

02:24that one in and a super header from Granbeck.

02:29Really deceiving, Jair for Fahner, the second goal of the season for Granbeck and it was

02:36a super cross, wasn't it?

02:44Finally the breakthrough for Rennes.

02:59It's the end of the first half, there's been one goal and it's Albert Granbeck with the

03:03header giving Rennes the lead against Angers in this match of two relegation threatened

03:09teams.

03:11Half time, 1-0 for Rennes.

03:35Rennes have the lead after the first half in this vital match towards the bottom of

03:39Ligue 1 with the substitute Albert Granbeck on the mark.

03:46So the change for the visitors, Jacques Eccomi, the young left back on for Florent Ana, no

03:54change for Rennes, they've already been forced into one sub remember with Albert Granbeck

03:58on for Amine Gouiri, but sometimes football is like that, the sub comes on and scores

04:05a header.

04:10Three points, very precious for this ambition.

04:14This turn from Calamwendo, Naguida and Granbeck, well over the bar, second goal.

04:26Game of few chances, Bamba Dieng, something about that Dieng.

04:34Number four, let's be careful there, by Arcus, Eccomi, gets his lines wrong there, does Abdeli,

04:44maybe a chance for a second, Assegnon, Assegnon and it's bounced in, Rennes have the second

04:52and it's the early Christmas present that the Rennes fans wanted, Laurence Assegnon

04:58with a goal that bobbled in, it took a deflection, it's his first goal in over a year and Jorge

05:05Sampaoli will be delighted with that, Rennes have the second goal and surely the three

05:10points, Laurence Assegnon driving forward from full back and makes it 2-0.

05:22Because it was a nervy last few minutes, him and Abdeli just trod on the ball and Assegnon

05:27driving through, took a wicked deflection off the floor, into the net, his first goal

05:32for nearly a year but he will enjoy that one, Laurence Assegnon and that's a nice sight

05:38for Rennes fans, a second goal, 2-0 for Rennes, well it took a huge deflection but Jorge Sampaoli

05:56will make it one.

06:00Rennes fans can celebrate, three points, never been easy today, got the two goals, different

06:08kind of goals and the three points are theirs and that will do there, battle against relegation

06:13which is what Sampaoli was saying it was, will do that a world of goods, Assegnon the

06:19goal scorer, scored his first goal in over a year, it's all over, Rennes have the three

06:30points and the two goals, disappointment for Alexandre Dujeux but the Rennes fans dancing

06:35for joy, relief for them, Calamuendo not on the score sheet today, goals for Albert Grunbeck

06:42and Laurence Assegnon, a big win for Rennes this one, this has finished Rennes 2-0.

06:58Well final scenes from Rowers and Park where they gave everything today and it was a bit

07:03unlucky that Hamed Abdelhi right at the end just treading on the ball and giving a chance

07:08for Laurence Assegnon that he took with aplomb, 2-0 for Rennes.
