League Game 8: Stade Rennais F.C. vs Santa Cruz Breakers


It's surprising to imagine that the Breakers, in their first Master League season, already has a strong rivalry against Stade Rennais FC. The Breakers have faced Stade Rennais F.C. twice in the first round of the D2 cup.


Their first match in Santa Cruz ended in a surprising and disappointing 3-3 draw. The Breakers scored the first two goals and Stade Rennais F.C. fought back to stay alive and score a final equalizing goal at the 87'.

Their second match on the road was dominated by Stade Rennais F.C. who won 2-0. The Breakers were knocked out of the D2 Cup in the first round and thus the beginning of this beautiful rivalry.

As the match began, it became clear that Stade Rennais F.C. was the stronger team. Stade Rennais F.C. came out with an all out offensive attack.


Their first goal was a beautiful shot past the goalie and ended in the back of the net!

The Breakers had a couple shots of their own to try to tie the match before the half, but were unsuccessful.


The second half began the same as the beginning of the first with Stade Rennais F.C. easily scoring their second and final goal of the match.


Stade Rennais F.C. won the match 2-0 over the Breakers. The total domination was by Stade Rennais F.C. was disappointing to the Breakers who wanted revenge for being knocked out of the D2 by Stade Rennais FC.

The offensive possession by Stade Rennais F.C. of 58% to a pitiful 42% by the Breakers is one stat to show that the Breakers need to control the ball better on all sides of the pitch!
