The home ground advantage for Dinan Lehon FC seemed to have played a significant role in securing a well-deserved 3-1 victory over TA Rennes in this Coupe de France clash. Statistics throughout the game clearly display the control and positional discipline exhibited by the home side despite starting from behind in the first half.

TA Rennes had an early lead with a goal in the 41st minute of the first half, however, they weren't able to maintain their advantage. The first yellow card was served to TA Rennes right on the brink of the first half at 46th-minute, possibly indicating a disruption in their tactical discipline which led to fouls.
