In a thrilling match, Nantes secured their first win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Rennes in Ligue 1 Round 34. The result was significant for the team's relegation prospects as they now have a much better chance of staying up.

The game began with both teams playing defensively, but Nantes started to dominate possession and create chances. They were eventually rewarded when a header from Jonathan Bamba found the back of the net in the 29th minute. It was a well-deserved goal for the home side, who had been under pressure throughout the match.

Rennes fought back in the second half, but it was too little too late as Nantes held on to secure all three points. The win moved Nantes up to eighth place in the table, just two points behind 18th-placed Lens, who also won their match earlier in the day.

The win was a huge boost for Nantes' morale, who had struggled to find form this season. The team will now focus on their remaining matches, hoping to finish the season strongly and avoid the drop into the French Championship next term.

For Rennes, it was another disappointing defeat, which leaves them in a precarious position in the league. The team will need to turn things around quickly if they want to avoid the drop, or face the prospect of playing in the lower tiers of European football.
