Rennes narrowly edged out Toulouse in a thrilling match that ended with a goalless draw, but it was the Terriers who emerged victorious after scoring the only goal and securing a clean sheet with penalties.

The match kicked off at Stade de la Bastille in Paris on Saturday evening, with both teams looking to secure their place in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers. The home side had been leading for most of the game, but Toulouse came back from behind to tie the score at halftime.

In the second half, Rennes continued to dominate possession and create opportunities for their attacking players. However, it wasn't until the final minute that they finally broke through. A corner kick from the right wing found its way into the box, where striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang took advantage of a weak clearance and slotted the ball past goalkeeper Kevin Trézeguet for the only goal of the game.

With the match tied at 1-1, the pressure shifted to Toulouse to secure a win and move into the next round. But the Terriers held firm and defended stoutly, keeping the visitors at bay until the end of regulation time.

In the extra time, the situation remained unchanged as both teams struggled to find the back of the net. It was not until the penalty shootout that things began to change. In the first few rounds, both sides were unable to convert their chances, leaving the score tied at 4-4.

However, in the sixth round, Rennes' keeper Anthony Lopes made a crucial mistake, allowing a shot from Toulouse's substitute Youssef El Zaim to slip through his legs. This gave Rennes the lead and sealed their victory.

The win was a huge boost for Rennes, who have been struggling in recent matches and may need this result to turn things around. On the other hand, Toulouse will have to regroup and come up with a better performance in future matches if they want to make it to the next stage of the competition.

Overall, this match was a tense affair that showcased the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. While Rennes managed to take the win, it was a close call and one that could have gone either way. Regardless of the outcome, this was a solid performance from both sides and a reminder of the importance of hard work and determination in football.
