Nothing is stopping the people of Brest at the moment. After Monaco, Lorient, Lens, Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne, it was Marseille who bowed in front of Stade Brestois, this Saturday at the Stade Vélodrome. Michel Der Zakarian’s players turned the tide of the meeting in which they were however badly embarked. For this trip to OM, the technician from SB29 had chosen to renew the same eleven as against Saint-Étienne, with a difference ready. Sick, Steve Mounié gave way to Romain Del Castillo on the attack front.
Gerson opens the scoring for OM
But the former Rennais did not have the opportunity to touch many balls in this first act. Marseille monopolized the ball (75% possession of the ball in the first period) and logically opened the scoring with Gerson (29 ‘). The Marseille striker was playing in relay with Payet who put him back in perfect timing between the defender’s legs. The Marseillais entered the area and lodged the strong ball under the bar of Bizot, leaving no chance for the Brest goalkeeper, Marco Bizot.

A penalty to restart the Brestois
Barely, Brest returned to the locker room with a goal behind. The second half started in the same way, but a fact of the game would change the game. On a long shot from Hugo Magnetti, Kamara touched the ball with his arm. The match referee pointed to the penalty spot, a decision confirmed by video assistance. Romain Faivre did not shake and equalized for SB29 (53 ‘). Emboldened by the equalizer, Brest came out a little more and was going to make the difference. Found on the left after a superb pigeon wing recovery from Irvin Cardona, Franck Honorat was playing in one-two with Jérémy Le Douaron. The former Stéphanois triggered a mine at the entrance to the surface (71 ‘).
Marseille tried to come back in the last quarter of an hour but Gerson (78 ‘) narrowly failed. Cardona even missed the ball 3-1 (81 ‘).
Brest therefore continues a sixth success in a row in Ligue 1 and offers itself the first victory in its history in Marseille. The SB29 climbed to 6th place before the rest of the meetings of this 17th day. For its part, OM, followed by Rennes and Nice, could lose its place on the podium.
