Rennes defeats Marseille in Ligue 1 fourth round action

On September 11, 2026, the fourth round of the French Ligue 1 season began with a notable match between Rennes and Marseille. Rennes secured a 1-0 victory at home, with Thomasson scoring the decisive goal in the 52nd minute following a scramble in the penalty area. This result propelled Rennes to the top of the league standings with their third consecutive win, maintaining their strong start to the season.

Conversely, Marseille continues to struggle, marking their third consecutive defeat after previous losses to Monaco and Paris FC. The club now remains near the bottom of the table. Both teams involved in this match are scheduled to face Olympiacos during the league phase of the UEFA Europa League, making their domestic form a key point of interest for Greek football observers.

Elsewhere in Ligue 1, Paris FC continues their impressive run, while Paris Saint-Germain prepares to face Brest, seeking their first league win of the season after a difficult start that left them in 14th place, despite a strong 6-1 Champions League victory over Slovan Bratislava earlier in the week.
