Crazy!
This Sunday in Ligue 1, Stade Rennais travels to Lorient’s pitch for a Breton derby that’s already heating up.
Facing Les Merlus, Les Rouge et Noir had a very difficult start with Mahdi Camara’s exclusion in the sixth minute of play following a high foot. It was also the midfielder’s first start under his new colors.
If Rennes thought they were already having a tough afternoon, the match got even more complicated just five minutes later with Christopher Wooh’s exclusion (11th) for a foul in the last defender position.
Rennes will therefore play the rest of the game… with nine against eleven! Since Opta has been collecting this data in Ligue 1 (1992/93), no team has ever conceded two exclusions so quickly.
The start of the season is definitely complicated for the Bretons, who had already conceded a red card on the first day of the championship against OM. The Rennais had still managed to win at the end of the suspense (1-0), will they do it again this Sunday?
