‘A catastrophe’ and ‘a purge’ – Rennes reflect on ‘inconceivable and shameful’ loss to Toulouse
After RC Lens’ loss at the hands of FC Metz and Stade de Reims’ loss at the hands of RC Strasbourg Alsace, Stade Rennais hosted Toulouse FC at the Roazhon Park on Saturday night with the chance to make significant progress in their hunt for European football next season.
Rennes began brightly, taking the lead through Désiré Doué midway through the second half but Toulouse struck back immediately through Cristian Cásseres before Moussa Diarra gave Le TéFéCé the lead just minutes later. After a dramatic first 30 minutes at the Roazhon Park, the game settled down. No further goals were scored and Rennes succumbed to a 2-1 defeat. Les Rennais have now lost their last four in all competitions, whilst they have just one win in their last seven in Ligue 1; that is not the form of a European contender and all levels of the club voiced their frustration with their current run post-match.
