Valenciennes could have pulled level through Mathieu Dossevi, but his effort well well saved in the bottom corner.

Early in the second half Rennes doubled their lead and it was Kadir again. It was the same combination as he turned in a Pitroipa cross from the left.

The visitors refused to be beaten and Anthony Le Tallec turned in from close range after Maor Melikson's shot was saved.

They were level eight minutes later when Marco Da Silva fired high into the net from just outside the box.
