Rennes deservedly overturned an early deficit to win 2-1, with their 1.73 xG to OFI's 0.12 reflecting overwhelming dominance. Despite OFI's 10th-minute opener from Taxiarchis Fountas (assisted by Nikolaos Athanasiou) against the run of play, the hosts' 67% possession and 25 total shots (9 on target) told the story of a side in control. OFI's lone shot on target was their goal, while Rennes' 13 corners and 15 shots inside the box underscored their territorial advantage.

The turnaround came through sustained pressure: Mahamadou Nagida's 76th-minute equaliser and Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal's 90th-minute winner rewarded Rennes' 2.74 xG overperformance, though only 7 OFI saves kept it close. The decisive stat was Rennes' 15 shots inside the box to OFI's 1 – a mismatch in chance quality that made the late rally inevitable.
