Paris FC beat Stade Rennais 4–3 on Sinayoko's stoppage-time penalty

Lopez scores twice before halftime

Pablo Pagis tested Brice Samba in the 11th minute, with the Rennes goalkeeper saving his low right-footed attempt.

Paris FC went ahead three minutes later when Lassine Sinayoko recovered possession and supplied Maxime Lopez, who beat Samba. Lepaul equalized from the penalty spot in the 29th minute after Pierre Lees-Melou fouled him, with VAR confirming the decision.

Kevin Trapp also saved a low Ludovic Blas shot following an Esteban Lepaul cutback.

In first-half stoppage time, Sinayoko crossed for Lopez to finish from close range, giving Paris FC a 2–1 halftime lead.

Rennes changes bring an early chance

Rennes introduced Mousa Al-Tamari, Valentin Rongier and Mahamadou Nagida at the interval, replacing Ludovic Blas, Adrien Thomasson and Przemysław Frankowski. Rongier found Bryan Reynolds behind the defense in the 47th minute, but Trapp saved. Reynolds then intervened near the line in the 62nd minute to stop Luca Koleosho from close range.

Sinayoko answers another equalizer

Samir Chergui's foul on Mousa Al-Tamari gave Rennes another penalty, which Estéban Lepaul converted in the 74th minute to level the match.

Just two minutes later, Sinayoko restored Paris FC's lead with an overhead kick from an Ilan Kebbal cross.

A fourth penalty decides the finish

Otávio's handball allowed Estéban Lepaul to complete his penalty hat-trick in the 88th minute for 3–3.

Trapp subsequently saved a potential go-ahead chance after Esteban Lepaul sent Al Tamari through.

Estéban Lepaul left with an ankle injury in stoppage time, leaving Rennes to finish the match with ten players.

The deciding penalty followed Rongier's shirt pull on Sinayoko: VAR confirmed the award, and Sinayoko wrong-footed Samba in second-half stoppage time to secure the victory.
