The away team built on their impressive start with the opening goal after 16 minutes. Paul-Georges Ntep placed his shot into the top corner after receiving the ball from Cheikh M'Bengue.

Remi Gomis headed wide for the hosts just before half time, but Rennes extended their lead with an hour played when Anders Agnes Konradsen found the bottom corner with a composed finish.

Rennes were comfortable after that and grabbed a third when Ola Toivonen found space in the box to slot in.
