Ligue 1 Round 33: Lyon beats Rennes 2-1, in Europa League Qualification Zone.

The Ligue 1 round 33 saw two teams clash on Sunday evening, with Lyon defeating Rennes 2-1 in their quest to secure a spot in the Europa League qualification zone.

In a thrilling match, Lyon's attacking prowess shone through as they managed to score two goals in the first half, thanks to goals from Anthony Martial and Memphis Depay. The French side looked comfortable throughout the game, but it was Rennes who threatened them late into the second half when they were awarded a penalty after a handball by Benjamin Bourigeaud.

However, Lyon's goalkeeper, Steve Mandanda, saved the spot-kick, keeping his team's lead intact. Despite Rennes' best efforts, they could not find the back of the net, leaving Lyon with all three points and securing their place in the Europa League qualification zone.

For Rennes, it was a disappointing night as they were unable to secure any points against one of the top teams in France. However, they can take comfort in the fact that they have a good chance of making it to the Europa League group stage next season if they can maintain their form over the rest of the season.

Overall, this result was a huge boost for Lyon as they continue to push towards the top of the table and secure their place in Europe's elite club competition. It was also a reminder that even small victories can be important in the fight for European football, and that every point counts in the quest for success.
