Having joined Stade Rennais in the summer transfer window in a mouthwatering move from Danish outfit FC Nordsjaelland, the youngster impressed in pre-season earning him a place in the starting line up on Sunday.
His electric pace on the flanks caused problems for the RC Lens team, and after receiving a through ball from Flavien Tait, Sulemana took on a Lens defender before beautifully curling in the opener.
However, his lead lasted for only five minutes as Seko Fofona leveled for the visitors at the Stade de la Route de Lorient.
