Rennes recover from an early blow
Rennes came from behind to beat OFI 2-1 at Roazhon Park. Taxiarchis Fountas put the visitors ahead in the tenth minute, but Mahamadou Nagida levelled in the 76th and Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal won it in the 90th. It was a late turnaround against a side who had led for around 66 minutes, and both Rennes goals came from defenders.
OFI barely got a sight of goal
Rennes allowed OFI only two shots, against a seven-match season average of 14.4, and won 13 corners, well above their usual 5.9. Those figures suggest the match was played largely in OFI's half. The only shot on target the visitors managed was Fountas's early goal, so Rennes' defending was tested very little.
Volume without much threat
Rennes fired 25 shots but finished with an xG of 1.79, close to their season average of 1.8. Their xG per shot was 0.07, below the 0.11 they usually manage, which points to a high number of low-value efforts. Nikolaos Christogeorgos made seven saves to hold OFI in front for so long.
Two goals, two defenders, one result
Nagida's 76th-minute equaliser was worth +1.1 FN xPts to Rennes and cost OFI 1.4. The winner in the 90th minute was bigger still: +1.8 for Rennes and −0.9 for OFI, the largest combined change of the match. Both scorers are defenders, and each has one goal in two appearances in the competition.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Mahamadou Nagida 8.6Dominant
The defender had five shots, three on target, and scored the 76th-minute equaliser.
Nagida's FN MOM case rests mostly on attacking output. His five shots were the most in the match, and he completed three of six dribbles. His 76th-minute goal ended OFI's long spell in front, and Rennes did not trail again before Ait Boudlal's winner in the 90th minute.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth
How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist. The value next to a team code is what the same moment did to the other side's expected points; the decisive moment is the one with the largest combined change for both teams.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
