Paris FC 4-3 Rennes: Sinayoko's stoppage-time penalty ends it
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 9 shots on target v a 4.3 average over six matches
- 16 Rennes fouls, a high in eight matches this season
- Lepaul's three penalties levelled it each time
Lepaul levels, Paris FC lead again
Paris FC beat Rennes 4-3 in a seven-goal match in which Esteban Lepaul scored all three of the visitors' goals from the penalty spot. Each one levelled the scores, and each time the hosts went back in front. Paris FC spent roughly 56 minutes of the 90 ahead, which makes three equalisers from the spot the story of the match.
Paris FC sharper than their norm
Paris FC were more incisive than usual in attack. Their nine shots on target compared with an average of 4.3 over six earlier matches this season, and the quality of each shot was above their norm too. Maxime López's two first-half goals both came from Lassine Sinayoko assists.
A scrappy Rennes under pressure
Rennes committed 16 fouls, their most in eight matches this season, and all four of their yellow cards came before the break. With Paris FC firing 19 shots, the visitors' back line appears to have spent much of the match scrambling. The hosts' xG of 3.71 fits that picture.
Sinayoko has the last word
Sinayoko took the final penalty himself. His kick deep into stoppage time was worth +2.0 FN xPts to Paris FC and cost Rennes −1.0, the largest combined change of the match. Having just conceded an equaliser, the hosts won back what they had lost.

Lassine Sinayoko 9.4Dominant
He scored twice, provided two assists and had six shots and four key passes.
Sinayoko earned most of his credit in attack. He created both of López's goals in the 14th and 45+4 minutes, then scored the 3-2 in the 76th and the 4-3 penalty in stoppage time. He also won seven of 14 duels, giving Paris FC a focal point whenever Rennes drew level.

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.
