Stade Rennais has secured its spot in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France after defeating Lille 2-0. With this loss, LOSC bids farewell to the competition.
Now, the Mastiffs can redirect their focus towards maintaining their third place in Ligue 1. Reflecting on the match, Lille’s Ivorian striker, Salomon Kalou, acknowledged Rennes’ superiority: “They were the better team overall. We struggled in the first half, and they capitalized with a well-timed second goal. It’s disappointing because we had aspirations to reach the Stade de France, but we encountered a strong Rennes side who rightfully earned the victory,” as stated on Eurosport.
