In this highly engaging Ligue 1 match-up held at the Roazhon Park, the home Team, Stade Rennais triumphed with a 2-1 victory over OGC Nice. This outcome arguably draws directly from Stade Rennais' superior shot-making and effective utilization of set-pieces.

Stade Rennais showcased a terrific shooting performance with a total of 11 shots, 5 of which were on target compared to Nice's 5 total shots, 3 of which were on target. Rennais' Martin Terrier and Benjamin Bourigeaud found the back of the net, propelling the team to victory. It's worthwhile noting that Bourigeaud's goal resulted from an assist by Flavien Tait, proving the home team's effectiveness at combining efforts.

Notably, Stade Rennais' robust performance transcended beyond attacks to the defensive side of the game. Their players committed 16 fouls curtailing Nice's expeditions into their territory a number of times. Each team did, however, bring a somewhat aggressive approach to the game as reflected by the single yellow card each was shown.

Set-pieces also proved a decisive factor in this game, with Stade Rennais securing 5 corner kicks compared to Nice's 2. The Rennais' utilization of these chances, especially in maintaining pressure on their opponents is commendable. The away side, however, should rue their missed opportunities in the light of their disappointingly low shot count.

An analysis of the team's performance wouldn't be complete without acknowledging the efforts of the goalkeepers. Despite their team’s loss, Nice's keeper made two saves given that Rennais had five shots on target and scored twice. The home side’s keeper made two saves from the three shots on target.

In the final analysis, continuing to improve on their offensive performance, initiating more goal attempts, and maximizing set-piece opportunities will be fundamental for Stade Rennais in their Ligue 1 campaign. On the other hand, OGC Nice will look to bolster their offense whilst also shoring up their defense to limit opponents' goal scoring chances.
