RENNES – 4 (Laborde 45, Traor\u00e9 51, Truffert 76, 83)<\/p>\n
Alfred Gomis, 5<\/p>\n
Hamari Traor\u00e9, 7 – Rarely troubled amid an unplayable forward line display but did well to follow up to slam home the second just after half time and his cross set up the fourth.<\/p>\n
Warmed Omari, 6<\/p>\n
Nayef Aguerd, 5<\/p>\n
Birger Meling, 6<\/p>\n
Baptiste Santamaria, 6<\/p>\n
Benjamin Bourigeaud, 8 – His deliveries were typically on point and one such corner assisted the opener for Laborde and was also Majer\u2019s right hand man in moving the ball sharply and smartly around the box.<\/p>\n
Flavien Tait, 7<\/p>\n
Lovro Majer, 9 – Nonchalantly, ran the game. Dropped into pockets around the area and in the channels, beat men for fun, picked clever passes for forwards and instigated some slippery interplay. It was his looped pass that created the second, he initiated the counter for 3-0 and started the move for the fourth.<\/p>\n
Ga\u00ebtan Laborde, 7 – Rennes\u2019 cutting edge once more. After all the fluid link up play of the first half it was his typical number nine\u2019s header that opened the scoring as part of a dangerous display throughout<\/p>\n
Martin Terrier, 6 – His interplay and movement was difficult to stop but he really should have scored twice, Lopes making an early save from his close range effort and he somehow had a shot blocked on the line with Lopes out of the picture.<\/p>\n
Others: Sulemana 5, Truffert 8, Ugochukwu 5, Assignon 5.<\/p>\n
LYON – 1 (Paquet\u00e1 92)<\/p>\n
Anthony Lopes, 9 – It could have been a cricket score were it not for a raft of stunning stops from the OL keeper. A close range save from Terrier early on and a snap stop from Laborde with his foot where first half highlights before a flying change of direction to halt a Bourigeaud header after half time topped the lot.<\/p>\n
L\u00e9o Dubois, 3 – Similarly outplayed by Rennes\u2019 fluid forward line as the rest of the defence and was outpaced by Truffert from the third but made a superb goal line block from Terrier in the first half.<\/p>\n
