US EditionChaotic Rennes Set Ligue 1 Red Card Record and Lose 4-0 at Lorient
Rennes received two straight red cards within 11 minutes, a Ligue 1 first since 1992, contributing to their 4-0 defeat at Lorient, coach Habib Beye confirmed both were deserved.
- On Sunday 2025-08-24, Rennes lost 4-0 to Lorient after playing most of the match with nine men due to two early red cards.
- This followed Rennes' troubled start to the season, including a brawl after their previous win and multiple player suspensions and absences.
- Christopher Wooh received a red card in the 10th minute for denying a clear goal opportunity to Aiyegun Tosin, and Mahdi Camara was sent off five minutes earlier for a dangerous kick.
- Opta, which has Ligue 1 data back to 1992, confirmed Rennes became the first team sent two red cards so soon after kickoff, while coach Habib Beye said, "Both red cards were deserved."
- The loss and disciplinary issues suggest Rennes faces challenges controlling matches with fewer players and managing aggression, as Beye noted, "Last year we didn't have enough; now we have too much.
