Decisive figure sets Marseille on their way against Rennes | OneFootball

Amine Gouiri fired in the 10th minute to set Marseille on their way, as they beat Rennes 3-1.

The Algeria international arrived in the centre to finish calmly from close range, a composed touch that gave the game an early platform.

In the second minute of first half stoppage time, he slipped Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang through to draw a save. After the restart he found the striker again (60.), forcing another stop as Les Olympiens kept the pressure on.

Gouiri finished with three attempts, one on target, and created two big chances. He also completed 16 passes in the final third and won six possessions, underpinning control between the lines.

His movement and link play pulled markers around, giving Les Olympiens lanes to attack and keeping Rennes pinned for long spells.

Les Phocéens rise from sixth to fifth in Ligue 1, while Rennes slip from fifth to sixth.
