In the French championship on Saturday, seven matches were played. The leader "Rennes" suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 0-1 at home to "Montpellier". The guests took the lead at the end of the first half, when Joris Marveaux sent the ball into the net with his head. However, their situation complicated as Garry Bocaly saw a red card for a dangerous foul after playing just over an hour. Despite numerous opportunities and numerical advantage, "Rennes" failed to break through the dense defense of their opponents, and in the 83rd minute the balance of players on the field was restored - Abdou Kader Mangane was sent off. "Rennes" maintained their position as the leader, but is only ahead of "Saint Etienne" and "Brest" by 1 point.
