SK Sturm Graz and Rennes finished 0-0 in Liga Europa. Rennes had more of the ball and far more shots, but the visitors never scored and the hosts never led.
Match Summary
The official score at Merkur-Arena stayed 0-0 throughout. Sturm Graz started in a 4-4-2 and Rennes in a 4-1-4-1. The away side controlled 63 percent of possession, yet that grip did not produce a first-half goal. At the break the match was still blank.
Nothing changed on the scoreboard after the restart. Rennes worked the attempt count up to 23 against nine and still found no way through. SK Sturm Graz put four shots on target and kept the night level. Home bookings arrived in the second half. L. Balbo was shown a yellow card in the 51st minute, F. Ingolitsch in the 63rd, J. Gorenc Stankovic on 90 minutes, and Jon Gorenc Stankovic in the 90+8th. Rennes were not booked. Referee M. Lukjancukas ended a contest that never left 0-0.
Key Moments
Rennes' expected goals of 1.82, with five shots on target, never became a lead. That gap between pressure and the scoreline is why a heavy shot advantage still produced only a draw.
