With 88 passes into the final third and an Expected Assists figure of 1.66, they were consistently getting into dangerous positions. The team's willingness to take shots, reflected in their 56% accuracy and nine shots on target, meant Rennes' goalkeeper was kept on his toes throughout the latter stages of the match.
