### Marseille Draws 1-1 With Rennes Despite Guendouzi's Goal Disallowed

In a highly anticipated match between Ligue 1 giants Marseille and Rennes on Sunday, the teams ended up with a disappointing result of 1-1 despite Guendouzi's late goal being ruled out due to a foul.

The match was expected to be a high-scoring affair as both sides had strong attacking formations. Marseille, under the guidance of manager Ronald Koeman, were looking for their first win of the season, while Rennes, led by manager Didier Deschamps, were aiming to maintain their position in the top four.

Marseille dominated possession throughout the game, creating numerous chances but failing to convert them into goals. The home side's best opportunity came in the 55th minute when striker Antoine Griezmann shot from outside the box, but his effort was blocked by Rennes goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Rennes, on the other hand, showed resilience and kept the score at 0-0 until the final whistle. In the 86th minute, Guendouzi managed to score the equalizer. However, just moments later, referee Marc-Antoine Bouche was called for a penalty after a foul committed by Marseille midfielder Yannick Carrasco. Guendouzi stepped up to take the spot kick, but his attempt was disallowed by the video assistant referee (VAR).

This controversial decision left the stadium buzzing, with supporters expressing frustration and disappointment. Marseille, who had been leading the league standings for much of the season, now find themselves tied with Rennes in the standings with three games remaining.

Despite the setback, Marseille remains a formidable team, capable of mounting a comeback if they can improve their defensive performance and continue to dominate possession. Meanwhile, Rennes will need to work on their goalkeeping and defense to avoid further defeats and stay in contention for a European spot.

The match concluded with both teams leaving the field disappointed but hopeful for better performances in the future. As the season progresses, these two clubs will undoubtedly face each other again, making this draw a reminder that football is never easy and that success often comes down to small details like VAR decisions.
