Overview

• Mahdi Camara was sent off in the 5th minute for a high boot on Dermane Karim, followed by Christopher Wooh in the 11th for bringing down Aiyegun Tosin when clear on goal.
• Opta said its Ligue 1 records dating to 1992 show no prior instance of one team receiving two red cards so early in a match.
• Sambou Soumano scored in first-half stoppage time before Tosin, Pablo Pagis, and Théo Le Bris added goals after the break for Lorient’s 4-0 win.
• The defeat continues a disruptive start for Rennes that began with Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal’s opening-week red card and suspension.
• Selection issues persisted as Mikayil Faye missed the opener after oversleeping, Przemyslaw Frankowski was injured, and Moussa Al-Tamari was dropped for arriving late to a pre-match meeting.
