Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) climbs to the third position in the Ligue 1 standings with an impressive victory over the hosts, defeating Rennes 3-1

In the match, the goalkeeper made a fantastic save as he dashed out to collect Blas' low cross, preventing Kalimuendo from an easy tap-in. It was a brilliant display of goalkeeping.

PSG took the lead with a goal by Vitinha in the 32nd minute. The attack began with a Marquinhos backheel near their own goal line. Ugarte passed to Dembele, who carried the ball over the halfway line. Dembele, cutting in from the right, had a clear shot opportunity but chose to pass to Vitinha, who calmly shifted the ball onto his right foot at the edge of the box and curled it beautifully into the top corner.

PSG extended their lead to 2-0 in the 36th minute when Zaire-Emery delivered an excellent cross from deep, finding Hakimi who headed the ball into the net.

Rennes responded with a well-executed goal in the 56th minute. Assignon intercepted a pass in PSG's half and sent it to Blas, who crossed the ball to Gouiri at the back post. Gouiri headed it past Donnarumma, narrowing the score to 2-1.

PSG regained their two-goal advantage in the 58th minute. Hakimi outpaced Gouiri and delivered a cross that Kolo Muani glanced into the net with his first touch after coming on, making it 3-1 for PSG.

Rennes had a close call in the 86th minute when Yildirim's looping header from a free kick hit the post. However, PSG couldn't capitalize on this opportunity, as Mbappe, racing past Assignon and the goalkeeper, chipped the ball over the empty net.

Notable statistics from the match include PSG ending a five-game winless streak at Roazhon Park, Marquinhos tying Marco Verratti for the second-most appearances for PSG with 416 games, and Hakimi's impressive four goals as a right-back in Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season. Additionally, Nice remained the only undefeated team in Ligue 1 for the season.
