Overview

• Mahdi Camara was sent off around the fifth minute for a high boot on Dermane Karim, and Christopher Wooh received a straight red minutes later for stopping Aiyegun Tosin through on goal.
• Opta reports no prior Ligue 1 instance since its 1992 records began of one team getting two red cards so early in a match.
• Down to nine men, Rennes held until first-half stoppage time before conceding and ultimately lost 4-0 away to Lorient.
• The setback followed a turbulent week for Rennes that included Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal’s suspension, Mikayil Faye missing a game after oversleeping, and Moussa Al‑Tamari being dropped for lateness.
• Elsewhere on the day, Lille beat Monaco 1-0 thanks to Olivier Giroud’s stoppage-time winner, with the veteran later missing a penalty.
