Rennes Defeated defending champions Paris Saint Germain by 1-0

Ligue 1 Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain lost 2-1 at Rennes on Sunday.

PSG, which beat Nimes 3-0 last weekend in the first round, went ahead in the 36th minute when Edinson Cavani took advantage of a poor back pass by Rennes defender Damien Da Silva.

M'Baye Niang leveled with a stunning effort shortly before the interval and Romain Del Castillo was left unmarked to head in what turned out to be the winner early in the second half.

Rennes also defeated Montpellier by “1-0” in its opening match of the league season.
