Stade Rennes made a strong comeback after their previous loss to Lille, securing an impressive 5-0 victory over Saint Etienne. Amine Gouiri contributed to the scoreline with the third goal, and his celebration was particularly heartfelt as he honored his teammate Alidu Seidu, who has unfortunately been sidelined for the season due to a knee injury sustained last Tuesday.
In a touching moment, Gouiri revealed Seidu’s jersey, drawing enthusiastic applause from the home crowd. Forward Atnaud Kalimuendo was the star of the match, netting a hat trick, while Ludovic Blas added another goal, helping Rennes climb to 12th place in the Ligue 1 standings. Seidu had been a consistent presence for Rennes throughout the season until his unfortunate injury last weekend, which is expected to keep him out for approximately 8 to 9 months.
