A final corner proved fatal for Rennes (0-1).

With the score heading for a goalless draw at Roazhon Park, Auxerre were able to break the deadlock in a rather tight encounter when they scored from a set-piece in the 89th minute. Stade Rennais F.C. lost 1-0 at home and are now 12th on 32 points after Matchday 28. Next game: a trip to Le Havre in a week's time.
