The 4th day of Ligue 1 saw RC Lens and Stade Rennais face each other at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium.

Victory 2 to 1: the contract is fulfilled for the men of Haise.

The Lensois starting 11 evolved into 3-4-2-1, with Openda at the forefront, a system chosen by Haise, while Génésio favored a usual 4-3-3.

No ball made the net shake during the first half and the score therefore remained clean.

The first goal of this meeting was scored by the young midfielder Fofana in the 66th.

Then, the Lensois increased the gap on the scoreboard in the 70th, thanks to Openda.

Laborde saved the honor in the 91st minute, in stoppage time, with Rennes' only goal.

Doué has received a warning.

This victory allows RC Lens to remain in the top 3 of the competition.

Stade Rennais loses 2 places and is relegated to 11th position.
