But referee was Frappart caught in the crossfire, leaving her and Lyon frontman Lacazette sprawled out on the floor.
Six foot Dembele, who also plays for Lyon, came charging through the middle of the park as his team looked to hit Rennes on the break.
But in his path, the Frenchman clipped the referee before clattering into Lacazette.
Both hit the deck, staying down as Dembele steadied himself.
Frappart - the first woman ever to referee a major men's European match and a French Ligue 1 match - was left clutching her shoulder and went off for treatment.
But she quickly returned, with just a four minute delay before the game got going again.

Lyon went on to lose the tie 3-2, with Lacazette's two goals not enough to beat the home side.
Aside from going home empty-handed and being bulldozed over by his teammate on Sunday, Lacazette's had a decent start to the season since returning to his boyhood club.
The former Arsenal ace has netted six goals in 11 appearances for the French side after re-signing this summer.
