Zakaria, in his second game back from injury, was sent off in the 66th minute after fouling an opponent from behind. Seven minutes later, Breel Embolo scored with a header to make it 3-0 against his former club. It was the Swiss international's fourth goal of the season, his second in a row.

Paul Pogba celebrated his comeback at Monaco after serving a doping ban and suffering several injuries. The 2018 world champion has not played a professional match since September 2023. Now, more than two years later, he made a brief appearance in the match against Rennes in the closing stages.
