The narrowest goal in French football history was scored by Rennes in the final match of their Ligue 1 campaign, which saw them defeat Brest 2-1 on Saturday night.

The game started off brightly with both teams struggling to find their feet. However, it was Rennes who had the better chance early on when they struck first with a stunning header from a corner kick. It was a shot that defied belief as it flew inches over the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Despite the early lead, Brest looked to be making up for lost time with some quality attacking play. They were able to create chances and break down Rennes, but they could not find the back of the net until the end of the first half.

The second half brought even more tension as both sides struggled to keep possession. Rennes continued to push forward, while Brest tried to limit their opponents’ chances. The game went to extra time without any clear-cut goals, and after two hours of intense play, Rennes emerged victorious with a 2-1 victory.

In the post-match press conference, manager Didier Deschamps praised his team’s resilience and ability to adapt under pressure. He also pointed out how crucial the narrow victory was for Rennes, who had already secured promotion to the top flight.

Overall, this was another great example of football’s artful play, where players can exploit mistakes and come out on top in the end. It is something that fans look forward to seeing every week.
