Doucoure made it 1-0 three minutes before the break for Rennes with a header from Ludovic Baal’s cross.

Monaco, however, dominated possession after the break and struck back six minutes into the second half when Wallace headed home from a corner.

Fabinho then brought down Cheik Mbengue but Pedro Henrique’s attempt from the penalty spot was saved by Subasic.

Rennes lost striker Paul Georges Ntep in the 68th minute with a possible hamstring injury.
