Omari scores as Rennes beat Lorient to reach French Cup last 32

Warmed Omari's first-half goal earned Stade Rennais a 1-0 home win over Lorient in the Brittany derby as the 2019 winners advanced into the last 32 of the French Cup on Saturday.

Omari scored from a goalmouth scramble in the 21st minute and Bruno Genesio's side stayed in control to progress smoothly in a good atmosphere, a day after the Paris FC v Olympique Lyonnais tie was abandoned amid crowd trouble.
