Match in Five Sentences: Rennes beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at Roazhon Park. Mousa Al-Taamari opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a curling finish into the bottom-left corner. Estéban Lepaul's towering header from a corner doubled the lead (69.), Ousmane Dembélé quickly halved it with a header (71.), before Breel Embolo chested in a late third (81.). Brice Samba made six saves as PSG forced long spells of pressure without clinical edge.

Player of the Match: Brice Samba kept Rennes in command, making six saves, including a superb double stop from Gonçalo Ramos during PSG's late push.

Stat of the Match: Paris Saint-Germain registered 22 attempts, but scored only once, underlining their wastefulness on the night.

Three Things We Learned: Rennes climb from sixth to fifth in Ligue 1, a timely lift after recent league defeats. Estéban Lepaul is now on 11 Ligue 1 goals, second in the scoring chart this season. PSG dominated the ball with 67.5% possession and hit 26 crosses, but their 31.8% shot accuracy and Samba's six saves told the story.
