On Wednesday night, Nantes secured their third win in a row as they defeated Rennes at Stade de la Beaujoire in Ligue 1 round 37. The result was crucial for the club's survival hopes as it boosted their relegation prospects.
The match started with both teams looking to take control of the game early on. However, it was Nantes who took the lead through a goal from Brazilian striker Bruno Guimaraes in the 28th minute. The forward's powerful header gave his team the advantage and set them on their way to victory.
In the second half, Nantes continued to dominate the proceedings and extended their lead in the 59th minute when midfielder Yann M'Vila scored from close range. The goal put them two goals ahead and effectively sealed the win for the home side.
The result means that Nantes now have a comfortable gap over their relegation rivals and are just three points behind leaders Monaco. With only one more game to play, they will be hoping to finish the season strongly and secure their place in the top flight next season.
For their part, Rennes were left disappointed after falling to defeat. They had been struggling all season and had already lost their last three games. Their chances of avoiding relegation are now slim, but they will hope to bounce back in their final few matches.
Overall, this is a significant victory for Nantes as they continue to push towards securing their place in Ligue 1. It also serves as a reminder of how important each game can be in the fight against relegation, and how much work still needs to be done by both teams.
