Razak Boukari – Stade Rennais (04/03/2012)

This is a beautiful collector's item, bearing witness to one of Brittany's most intense derbies. This match worn jersey was sported by Togolese international winger Razak Boukari in the colors of Stade Rennais during their trip to FC Lorient's home ground.

Match Context: The Law of the "Rouges et Noirs" Dictated at Le Moustoir

For this clash on the 26th matchday of Ligue 1 (2011-2012 season), the Stade du Moustoir was the scene of a lively regional battle. Frédéric Antonetti's men traveled to play the "Merlus" with the firm intention of making a big impact. Mission accomplished thanks to superior collective control and clinical offensive efficiency. Rennes broke the deadlock just before half-time through the elusive Jonathan Pitroipa (41st minute). Solid and disciplined against Lorient's attacks in the second half, the visitors definitively killed off any suspense late in the game with a coolly taken goal by Youssouf Hadji (79th minute), securing a valuable away win (0-2).

Razak Boukari: Power and Explosiveness on the Wing for the "Rouges et Noirs"

A powerful winger, endowed with formidable speed, great agility, and devastating dribbling ability, Razak Boukari put all his explosive qualities at the service of the Rennes collective to penetrate lines and create danger in the final thirty meters. Introduced in the 80th minute by his coach just after the second goal, replacing Jonathan Pitroipa, the number 12 showcased his power and freshness to stifle Lorient's last hopes and stabilize the block. His official kit includes full flocking, all Ligue 1 patches, and signs of match wear from the era. An excellent Breton collector's item.
