It was a resounding 5-0 win at Roazhon Park for Stade Rennais. They also managed to regain the third place that Monaco had provisionally snatched from them by beating Saint-Etienne, with four games to go before the end of the season.

With this win Rennes keep third place, the last spot in Ligue 1 that gives access to the UEFA Champions League. Genesio's team is only behind Marseille, second, and Paris Saint Germain, who were crowned champions on Saturday.
