Despite Kamaldeen Sulemana’s debut goal Rennes draw up with Lens

In Spite of having the home-field advantage, Rennes failed to pull forward off Lens in their opening match of Ligue 1 Uber Eats 2021-22 season. Rennes even had Kamaldeen Sulemana fire one for them in his debut match in the French match. Last season both the teams had a decent campaign with Rennes finishing sixth and Lens finishing in seventh place.

The Ghanaian International had put Rennes ahead in just 14 minutes with a beautiful curling shot in the corner, but they could not enjoy the lead for long. Five minutes later visitors leveled the score with Franck Haise’s equalizer. Later on, Rennes’s Romain Del Castillo lost an opportunity to convert at 89th minute when his free-kick went over the bar and Lens also had one goal ruled as offside in stoppage time.
