Friendly match in Laval (1–0)

At Francis-Le-Basser’s ground this evening, Rennes suffered a 1-0 defeat after conceding a goal on the hour mark, scored by Mathys Houdayer. Despite a host of chances and hitting the woodwork four times in total, the Bretons were unable to get back into the game and will return to Ligue 1 on 11 October when they host AJ Auxerre. This friendly match was notably marked by the first-team debuts of Firmin Thétiot, Kelvin Dongopandji and Boukary Coulibaly, all of whom came through the Rouge et Noir Academy.
