00:00So the new coach of Misfiring Rent, Jorge Sampaoli, takes charge of his first game at
00:07Roason Park and the Argentine coach absolutely needs a reaction from his players who have
00:15lost their last three games without scoring a single goal.
00:21Santetien the visitors in their chainstrip of white shirts and green shorts coming here
00:27in the relatively comfortable position of 13th but of course things can change very
00:32quickly in this league and should they lose today they will move below Rennes in the standings.
00:43Lorenz Assignon turning it on to Ludovic Blas, Matu Siwa to Hatta Boy, this is Leo Ostergaard,
00:56three new signings, three summer recruits at the back for Rennes, Hatta Boy, Ostergaard
01:02and Feit.
01:03No Alidou Seidou who got injured at Lille and fortunately for him and for Rennes it
01:10looks like a serious knee injury for Seidou.
01:16Assignon under pressure in that right wing back position settles for the throw in.
01:25Blas goes short, Guiri, Blas, Blas with the chip, Jordan James with the shot, he's claiming
01:34there was a handball there, it looked as though it may have struck the post and the referee
01:42is consulting with VAR. He struck it very well James, if there is contact he could be
01:56in big big trouble, not only could this be a penalty but Cafaro if he's intentionally
02:05pushed his arm out to try to save that ball and push it wide could well be on his way
02:12to the dressing room.
02:14Now let's see if Marc Bollinger first of all deems this a penalty.
02:26Powerful shot from Jordan James, Cafaro puts his left arm up, there's the slightest of
02:33touches on Cafaro's arm but perhaps enough anyway to deflect it off target and onto the
02:38post.
02:52And the referee is going to award a penalty to Rennes, handball from Mata Cafaro and Cafaro
03:00is sent off, it's been deemed an intentional handball from the Santetien attacker and this
03:09is a disastrous moment for the visitor but I mean that you know that's that's the law
03:19and if the referee was taking a long time to have a look at it I think it was to decide
03:24if it was intentional, it was clearly a handball, he could have very...
03:36Calimuendo steps up, sends the goalkeeper the wrong way and Sampaoli has his first goal
03:43as Rennes manager, Les Rouges Noirs end a goal drought that had stretched for more than
03:50five and a half, they are very much in the box seat now, Calimuendo with his fourth goal,
03:57his third penalty this season, Rennes one goal up against the 10 men of Santetien.
04:11This is Blas, Blas still, is it two it is, unstoppable from Ludovic Blas and Rennes are
04:22smiling once again.
04:27Two goals before the interval now put Sampaoli's charges on them, Arno Calimuendo feeding Blas,
04:39he gets a little bit of a lucky bounce here Ludovic Blas but doesn't he take full advantage.
04:45The Frenchman with his fourth league goal this season.
04:54It's not game over just yet, we've still got a half to play but Santetien with 10 men and
04:59Turn that in, half-time and 45 minutes that are over, 45 minutes that the team that Santetien
05:10might want to forget to kneel, Rennes is winning, let's go to a break, we're coming back.
05:18The 10 men of Santetien get us back underway and they have a lot of work to do, the visitors
05:25trail by two goals to nil and so Rennes are perhaps homing in on their first win under Jorge Sampaoli.
05:55This is Blas, Blas to Guiri, Guiri's head up, last minute didn't move, it was perfectly placed
06:09by the Rennes number 10 and Ludovic Blas with his magical left foot causes more problems.
06:15Amine Guiri ends his own personal goal drought, it's his first goal in 12 appearances,
06:25Rennes are three goals to the good now and Guiri showing Alidou Seidou who got a serious knee injury last weekend.
06:36This is a brilliant cross from Blas, Guiri just steering the header inside the near post,
06:42beautifully executed, Rennes 3, Santetien nil.
06:54Amine Guiri's second league goal this season.
06:58Here's Blas, Blas with the cutback, Kalimwendo with the chance, Kalimwendo with the goal.
07:09It's just a little bit too easy for Rennes at the moment, another assist for Ludovic Blas, another goal for Arnaud Kalimwendo.
07:19His fifth this season, he had time to control the ball, turn and steer it, left footed into the bottom corner.
07:28Santetien's defence leaving plenty to be desired again tonight, Rennes are not complaining, they're taking full advantage.
07:36Kalimwendo's fifth league goal this season, Rennes are four up with still plenty of time left in this one.
07:54He liked that didn't he, three of his four goals have been penalties.
07:59Blas up against Petro, oh Petro's had a nibble, it's a penalty.
08:07This is turning into a nightmare for Santetien, they are being tormented, this man Ludovic Blas.
08:15Just pushed it past Petro, the foul is clear, it has to be a penalty to register a hat-trick.
08:29Kalimwendo for his second penalty, he makes no mistake and Rennes' number nine is celebrating a hat-trick.
08:40He has doubled his tally of goals for the season.
08:46Just when you felt his confidence had hit rock bottom, he is back in the game, Arnaud Kalimwendo and Rennes have hit Santetien for five.
08:59They've got that sinking feeling once again.
09:11Santetien conceded eight at Nice, they're on the way to a similar drubbing here.
09:18It's twice now that Arnaud Kalimwendo has successfully sent Larssen in the wrong way.
09:24Excuse my earlier error, this is Grombeck, Grombeck in the box, Grombeck.
09:33Surely Rennes will score a true fair out of the line, Kalimwendo, Grombeck off the bar.
09:41Against Angers, Santetien have conceded.
09:46And the match is over, what a great victory, 5-0, Rennes defeating Santetien.
09:54And that was a very good showcase for the host team.
09:58Let's see what happens with the away side.
10:01Thank you for joining us, I'm Vint Cerf.
