Ligue 1 Wrap: Bayo & Cassama bag braces, Simon shines as Kabore sees red

Africans stars had a fine weekend in the French elite division, but it was a sour one for the Burkina Faso star who was given his marching orders

Serhou Guirassy was on target for Rennes as they settled for a 1-1 draw with Brest in Sunday’s Ligue 1 encounter.

Having played out a 1-1 draw in their opening match of the 2021-22 campaign versus Lens, the Red and Blacks travelled to Stade Francis-Le Ble with the ambition of picking up their first victory.

After a goalless first-half, super-sub Guirassy – who was brought on for Jeremy Doku in the 76th minute – put his side ahead six minutes after his introduction.
