# Marseille vs. Rennes: Guendouzi's Goal Disallowed

The match between Marseille and Rennes was a thrilling encounter, but it was overshadowed by a controversial decision in the final moments of the game. Marseille's young star, Guendouzi, had scored a late goal to give his team the lead, but the goal was stunningly disallowed due to a perceived offside violation.

The incident occurred in the 88th minute when Guendouzi, sprinting towards the Rennes goal, appeared to be in an offside position as he received the ball from a through ball. Referee Clément Turpin blew his whistle, and after consulting the video assistant referee (VAR), the goal was controversially ruled out. This decision led to a wave of protests from Marseille fans, who were visibly frustrated with the call.

Guendouzi himself seemed baffled by the decision, gesturing to the linesman and questioning the ruling. Meanwhile, Rennes players celebrated wildly, seemingly convinced by the VAR's decision. The match ended in a 1-1 draw after extended time, but Guendouzi's disallowed goal remains a contentious moment.

The outcome of the match left Marseille frustrated, as they appeared to have secured a hard-fought victory. Marseille manager Igor Tudor expressed his disappointment, stating that the decision "robbed" his team of a much-deserved win. On the other hand, Rennes' coach, Bruno Genesio, praised his players' resilience and the team's ability to withstand the pressure.

Fans on social media were divided, with many accusing the VAR of making a wrong call, while others accepted the decision as correct. For Marseille, this match is a reminder of the challenges of playing against high-intensity opponents like Rennes, who are known for their defensive organization and counter-attacking prowess.

Despite the controversy, the match showcased the excitement and drama of Ligue 1 football. Guendouzi's performance, despite the disallowed goal, highlighted his potential as a future star of the game.

This result keeps both Marseille and Rennes in the hunt near the top of the table, with the season still offering plenty of twists and turns. For now, fans will remember this match for Guendouzi's goal and the unforgettable VAR decision that changed the course of the game.
