TOPS
Impassable Greif
Man of the match. Without possible dispute. Dominik Greif had to work hard to prevent OL from falling to Brittany. Vigilant in the air throughout the match, the Slovak goalkeeper first distinguished himself in the first period, intervening in quick succession on attempts by Ajorque and Mboup (28th). Before pulling out the (very) big game against Labeau Lascary at the end of the match. A magnificent save which allowed OL to grab a precious point. Impeccable. Four days after conceding three goals against Paris FC (3-3), the 28-year-old goalkeeper this time left the pitch with a smile.

Tolisso with experience
Still so precious. Quickly forced to take a step back after the expulsion of Hateboer, Corentin Tolisso multiplied in all four corners of the field to fill the gaps. Just in his transmissions, he did not hide in the duels and caused five fouls. Some with experience, which above all allowed OL to break the rhythm set by Brest in the second half.
FLOPS
Plumbing and intermediate l’OL
A first tenure which immediately turned into a nightmare. Loaned by Rennes and aligned as right-back, Hans Hateboer left his teammates after just seven minutes of play. His dangerous sole on Mboup’s shin, initially punished by a simple warning, did not escape the video. And Clément Turpin did not need many viewings to change his decision and show the red card. Returning to the locker room with his head down, the 31-year-old quickly undermined his team, which came to Brest with the firm intention of getting back on track.
Brest has long been timid
Very quickly in numerical superiority in this match, Brest nevertheless waited until the last half hour to really press and push OL back. In the first period, the Brestois showed off their many current limitations, on all levels. Lacking confidence, Ludovic Ajorque’s teammates waited far too long before taking the game into their own hands. “It saddens me, the players must be able to read the match, adapt and find solutions. We can’t afford to wait until halftime and give them the keys», railed Eric Roy at the Ligue 1 + microphone. The Brest coach, marked after the match, insisted helplessly at the late awakening of his team, which is still chasing its third success of the season.
Baldé, missed reunion
This match had a particular taste for the colony of Brestois passing through Lyon. Like Tousart, Del Castillo and Mboup, Mama Baldé particularly wanted to shine against OL. But the SB29 winger missed out on this reunion. Active but much too messy, in passes (64% successful) or in shots (no shots on target on three attempts), he was generally well controlled by Tagliafico. Logically replaced in the second half by Rémy Labeau-Lascary, who could have become the hero of the match on the last opportunity of the match.
