00:00And this is a thousand star ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here with us. Let's remember
00:08that at this moment Brent is sitting in the 11th.
00:17And we get underway on match day four. Having had the international break to collect their
00:23thoughts Montpellier once again go in search of their first win of the season. In recent
00:27times lost just two of their last 16 Ligue 1 meetings with Montpellier. Looking to get
00:35off on the right foot here. Ball though over to the left hand side. Could just be quite
00:41a fluid attacking set up. Certainly on the left hand side though Adrien Truffaut who
00:46cuts inside and unleashed a shot. It will be Blaz to take the resulting corner. Towards
00:58the back stick. Christopher Wu is there. Back to Savanier. Nicely worked. Options waiting
01:06in the middle. Savanier whips it in. And getting across Christopher Wu was on an all down.
01:13Nine and seven last season. Twelve and four the one before. Eight and seven. Five and five.
01:21Cutting inside. Savanier. It's going to drop on the edge. Well it was Nzingula. A second
01:35fourth place finish in a row. So 10th not where they'd expect to be. They're 11th so
01:42far this season. Early days of course but looking to improve on that position. And
01:50Keduso with three points here. Talking himself into the book with his protests. It was just
01:57outside the area. Contact. The right side of the line from Montpellier. Make sure it doesn't
02:06sneak under the wall as it jumps. Gronbeck lays it off. And it's into the bottom corner
02:14from Ludovic Blaz. His second of the season in four games. Puts Wren one to the good after
02:30a little over a quarter of this match. A clever free kick just flicked on by the Dane
02:41Albert Gronbeck. Opened up the angle for Blaz who curled it perfectly around the outside
02:49of Rabih and Nzingula. And no chance for Benjamin Lacombe to get down quickly enough.
03:01One from the training ground perhaps. Either way clean sheet of the season. And for now
03:10it's Adrian Truffaut and Wren on the counter. Behind Calimuendo. Gronbeck. Santa Maria floats
03:22it in. It was attacked by Harteberg. And by the time we come back from the replays possession
03:29is with the hosts again. Just ahead of Blaz. He closes down though. Winter back and Gronbeck
03:37forces a save from Lacombe. Goal scorer. Blaz looks to turn provider. Headed away by Sagnon.
03:46Sacco back to Sagnon. Montpellier happy to hold on to the ball for a while. Haven't seen a huge
03:52amount of it in the last few minutes. Zoric ventures forwards. Picks up 14 points from the
04:01final six. Four wins two draws. Scoring at least two in five of those six. Here though they've
04:08conceded two. Arnaud Calimuendo doubles Wren's lead. And it's plain sailing for the side from
04:17the Brittany coast. Calimuendo off the mark. This campaign ten goals last season. In his third
04:31appearance of the 24-25 season. Asignon into the middle. And all too easy for Calimuendo.
04:42Plenty of space. Great movement. Coming in ahead of the defender. And finding the corner beyond
04:53Benjamin Lacombe. Wren can break away again here. Truffaut weighs up his options. Picks out Calimuendo.
05:01Blaise makes the run. Calimuendo will go himself. But was caught just as he took the shot.
05:06Chilaballi. Off to Adams. He'll get it back.
05:16Oh thinking about the shot. Teji Servanie. If they can make it. Ladies and gentlemen. 45 minutes to go.
05:26So back underweight. 45 minutes remaining. Montpellier to fight back. Headed away. And
05:35indeed that is the final action of the first half. Wren good value for their 2-0 lead.
05:43From Bodeglimps for 15 million. Tanguy Chilaballi was brought in last December. He's teed it up
05:59for a long race. This time more successfully into the path of Hatterber who lifts it up,
06:07floats it in. Found Adrian Viviero, 20-24. Servanie with a dangerous free kick. It's
06:17going to be bundled home eventually by Acor Adams. Rozon Park is silenced. A bolt out of the blue
06:28from Montpellier. But it was a killer delivery. Maybe a question of offside. It was actually
06:40stopped initially. Perfectly into the park. Scored just one from mid-November onwards.
06:52But the roar inside the stadium here is not. Ludwig Blas would like to do something in order
07:03to create the third goal. It was over the head of Groenbeek. Won back though by Adedu Seydou.
07:08First international goal. No league goals to his name. Here a man with plenty of league goals to
07:17his name. Arnaud Kalimwendo laid it off for Blas. Gets it back. Groenbeek wriggles away from one
07:23and two. And finds it home to make it three. Well he's threatened to do so. But now he finally gets
07:34off the mark for his new club in his fourth appearance. Scoring prowess. He's now displayed
07:42it in front as well. Initial ball into Kalimwendo. Looked to have come to nothing when it was stopped
07:55in his tracks. But well worked. Good patience. And then brilliant feet. And an excellent finish
08:01from Albert Groenbeek. Nice ball out to the left from Savanier. Sacco lays it back to Modibo
08:14Sagnon. Littered in by Chateau. Koulibaly knocks it down for Savanier. Excellent block.
08:26Back underway. Savanier looks to be okay to continue. And immediately back on the ball
08:39and as ever in the attacking sense. Just one goal, one assist last season. Vice-captain though.
08:47In 78 against Panama. Racing on through. His jotta goes down to Jordan James. James makes the
09:09run. It would have gone through to him where he stopped it. But might work out either way.
09:14Tries to slip it through. It's going to rebound back for James. Saved on the rebound. Somehow
09:21doesn't find its way beyond Montpellier. With a corner and a chance of at least a consolation.
09:28Savanier plays it out to Kasri. On the volley. Not a bad effort.
09:44And now the final whistle. And the match is over. 3-0. Stade Rennais have just won 3-0
09:54against Montpellier at this moment. Stade Rennais is climbing up.
