Stade Rennais FC suffered a crushing defeat in Loriant, falling on the score of 4 to 0 in this Ligue 1 derby. The game, which took place on Sunday, August 24, 2025, started on a particularly difficult note for the Reds and Blacks, with two red cards received in the first ten minutes. These evictions, which fell to Camara and Wooh, considerably weakened the team, reducing it to nine against eleven for a significant period. Despite this initial difficulty, Rennes managed to retain possession during the first half.

However, the first period resulted in a defensive error near the surface, allowing Sumano to mark just before the break. Upon the return of the changing rooms, Tosin doubled the bet on corner, sealing the fate of the game. The second half saw Rennes collapse, notably with the return of Seidu, who could not reverse the trend. This defeat was a hard blow for the Rennes team, especially after their recent exploit against Marseille.

Loriant’s goals were scored by Sumano (45+4e), Tosin (47e), Pagis (65e) and Le Bris (69e). Several warning cards were distributed to players on both teams, including Karim, Mendy, Sumano, Kouassi and Abergel. Team compositions revealed the tactical choices of coaches Olivier Pantaloni for Loriant and Habib Beye for Rennes, with changes made in the second period to try to correct the situation.
