Holder, Arthur Theate was aligned in the Rennes defensive trio and played the entire game. He was joined on the pitch by another Diable Rouge, Jérémy Doku, in the 70th minute. The former Anderlechtois was responsible for provoking the Marseille defense from his left flank but Stade Rennais failed to snatch the equalizer.
