Tuesday, 19 August 08, 02:01 AM
End Of Match: Nassim Akrour's first-half strike was enough as Grenoble managed to resist a second-half onslaught to maintain their 100% record.
Akrour fired in a 25-yard effort in the 20th minute after Sofiane Feghouli had missed a golden opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot.
The second half saw Rennes lay siege to the home goal, only to be denied by desperate defending by Mehmed Bazdarevic's men.
The home side could have taken the lead in the 10th minute when Petter Hansson brought down Daniel Moreira in the area.
Feghouli took the spot-kick, but Nicolas Douchez saved superbly and smothered the follow-up strike from Akrour.
The former Troyes striker made amends 10 minutes later when he fired the home side into the lead with a left-footed drive from outside the box.
The visitors has their best chance of the half in the 32nd minute when Jires Ekoko laid the ball off to Jerome Leroy on the corner of the area, but his shot was well-saved by Gregory Wimbee.
Rennes continued to push in the second period and came close to an equaliser in the 66th minute, but Asamoah missed his chance when through on goal.
Les Rouges et Noirs could have scored again after 74 minutes, but Olivier Thomert was unable to direct his header past Wimbee.
Rennes came closest to finding a leveller 10 minutes from time, but Hansson's looping header sailed just over.
