M'Baye Niang and Romain Del Castillo score either side of half-time to earn Rennes a shock 2-1 comeback win against Paris Saint-Germain
Match Report
Penalty shoot-out winners when these sides met in the Coupe de France final last season, the hosts produced another shock result over the top-flight champions thanks to goals either side of half-time at Roazhon Park.
Edinson Cavani profited from a defensive error to put Neymar-less PSG into the lead, but M'Baye Niang pulled one back a minute before half-time and Romain Del Castillo headed Rennes in front early in the second half.
