PARIS (Reuters) – Pedro Henrique missed a second half penalty for Stade Rennais in a 1-1 draw at Monaco in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Wallace had cancelled out Rennes midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure’s first-half opener early in the second half at the Stade Louis II before the visitors wasted a great opportunity in the 65th.

The result left Rennes in third place with 16 points from nine games after their fourth consecutive draw.

Doucoure made it 1-0 three minutes before the break for Rennes with a header from Ludovic Baal’s cross.

Monaco, however, dominated possession after the break and struck back six minutes into the second half when Wallace headed home from a corner.

Fabinho then brought down Cheik Mbengue but Pedro Henrique’s attempt from the penalty spot was saved by Subasic.
