Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured their second win in the Ligue 1 Group G with a 2-1 victory over Rennes on Saturday night at Parc des Princes. The French champions took the lead early in the match when Kylian Mbappé scored from close range after being set up by Neymar Jr.

Mbappé's goal was his first since returning to PSG after spending time on loan with Paris FC and Monaco. It marked a significant return to form for the young forward, who has been struggling with injuries this season but has now rediscovered his shooting touch.

Rennes, meanwhile, had the best chances of scoring in the second half, with goalscorers like Olivier Giroud and Thomas Lemar coming close. However, PSG held firm and kept their advantage until full-time.

The result leaves PSG in second place in Group G, with three points behind leaders Marseille, who also won against Lille earlier that day. This win is crucial for PSG as they aim to secure a playoff spot in the upcoming Champions League group stage.

In addition to Mbappé's performance, the PSG defense played a vital role in maintaining their lead. Defender Raphael Varane was particularly impressive, making several crucial interceptions and tackles.

The match highlighted the depth of talent within both teams, with PSG having several key players injured or absent while Rennes were dealing with a lineup shortage due to伤病. However, PSG managed to find a way through and secure a valuable point.

Overall, this win is a positive step for PSG in their campaign and sets them up well for future matches in Group G. With the team still working on some injuries and preparing for the upcoming fixtures, it will be interesting to see how they respond next week.
