PSG Extends Ligue 1 Lead with 3-1 Win Over Rennes
Paris Saint-Germain maintained its unbeaten streak and solidified its position at the top of Ligue 1 with a 3-1 victory over Rennes on Friday.
Bradley Barcola scored twice, curling in a fine finish at the 30-minute mark and tapping in his sixth goal of the season after Achraf Hakimi’s assist. Lee Kang-in added to the lead with a diving header in the 58th minute.
Rennes’ Arnaud Kalimuendo scored a penalty 15 minutes from time, but a late Alidu Seidu goal was disallowed due to handball.
