It’s the break ! Rennes leads 2-1!
Great first half, very intense. And it’s Rennes who take the lead, ahead of Brest who quickly trailed by two goals before reducing the gap.
Box for Terrier
The Rennais is cautioned after clearing a ball when there was a free kick for Brest.
Two minutes of added time
One last opportunity to equalize for Brest before the break?
Oh the Terrier’s face!
Free kick well struck by Bourigeaud towards the near post, where Terrier puts the top of his head to surprise Bizot. But the Dutchman gets it.
Waste on the Brest side
Brest still has its ideas but the execution is lacking for the moment. A lot of waste from Eric Roy’s players.
Lees-Melou still on the ground
This time, it’s the left foot, victim of a Martin Terrier sole. He finally gets up.
The pace has calmed down
After a crazy start to the match, the pace logically dropped. The two teams have given us a balanced game for 20 minutes.
Camara remains down in the area
The former Stéphanois is quicker than the defense and infiltrates the area but he is caught by a borderline intervention from Belocian. No penalty.
Return of Lees-Melou to the pitch
The Brestois will try to continue.
Lees-Melou boite
The Brest playing master has been limping for a few minutes. He appears to have taken a hit above the ankle, where he has a small egg. Jonas Martin went to warm up while he was treated at the side of the pitch.
Big contact between Brassier and Terrier
Terrier gets ahead of Brassier who can’t stop his movement and both are on the ground. Mr. Bastien faults Brest, who is doing well at the time.
Brest woke up
Picking up in this start, the reduction of the gap by Mounié did good to the Brestois, who got back in the right direction.
MOUNIÉ CLOSES THE GAP!!
Excellent cross from Del Castillo from the right which is headed by the inevitable Mounié. Mandanda pushes back but directly at the attacker, who scores with his knee. It’s going in all directions! 2-1 for Rennes.
KALIMUENDO THE DOUBLE !!!
Very well-worked cross-shot from Désiré Doué from the left and Bizot is on the spot… But the goalkeeper completely misses his intervention and Kalimuendo just has to push the ball into the empty goal. The nightmare for Brest!
Big duels in this start
It’s already very physical and we’ve had a lot of contact.
KALIMUENDOOOOO OPENS THE SCORE!!
Launched by Matusiwa, Kalimuendo is on the verge of offside and his cross shot is too precise to give Bizot a chance. Rennes is already ahead!
LET’S GO FOR THIS DERBY!
Stade Rennes kicks off!
The entrance of the 22 actors!
A decisive Breton derby for the end of the season! If the Brestois win, they will be guaranteed to play in a European Cup!
Rennes continues to believe in Europe
Winner of Nantes last week (0-3) after three consecutive defeats in the league, Rennes occupies 7th place, synonymous with the Europa Conference League if PSG beats OL in the final of the Coupe de France. Winning against Brest this afternoon puts pressure on OL, who host Monaco at 7 p.m., on OM and even on Lens, who face each other at the Vélodrome at 9 p.m.
Brest must revive
Beaten in Lyon two weeks ago (4-3), then against Monaco last weekend (0-2), Brestois must win while its direct competitors are advancing quickly. Notably LOSC, which overtook the Bretons by winning in Metz. They even see the Niçois, who will win in Strasbourg, come back to two lengths from their fourth place.
The Brest XI
Brest (4-2-3-1) : Bizot – Locko, Brassier, Chardonnet, Lala – Lees-Melou, Magnetti – Del Castillo, Camara, Satriano – Mounié.
The composition concocted by Julien Stéphan
Rennes (4-4-2) : Mandanda – G. Doué, Theate, Omari, Belocian – Bourigeaud, Matusiwa, Santamaria, D. Doué – Terrier, Kalimuendo.
Hello everyone !
Welcome to this live dedicated to the match of the 31st day of Ligue 1 between Rennes and Brest. In this Breton derby, the stakes are multiple. For the Brestois, who remain on two consecutive defeats, they must win to get back on the podium after LOSC’s victory in Metz earlier this Sunday.
On the Rennes side, Julien Stéphan’s men need to win to continue dreaming of Europe.
