Rennes’ hopes of earning Europa League qualification were struck a major blow when they were downed at home by lowly Metz. Nolan Roux has enjoyed quite the season, scoring goals Number 13 and 14 to make Metz fans believe in an unlikely end-of-season fightback. The Alsaciens earned their first win since January to give themselves a glimmer of hope, and it was all thanks to the striker’s quickfire second half break. Rennes couldn’t come up with a late reply.
