The Stade Brestois 29 fans went wild tonight! Their team cruised to a 2-0 victory over Montpellier at the Stade Francis-Le Blé.
Stade Brestois dominated possession, holding 65% of the ball throughout the match. They had a significant edge in shots, putting 26 shots on goal, with 9 of those finding the target. Montpellier, despite a valiant effort, struggled to match that intensity, managing only 9 shots overall, with only 4 finding the target.
The first half was relatively quiet, with neither team able to break the deadlock. The turning point came in the second half, with Brestois grabbing a goal in the 48th minute, followed by a second in stoppage time from J. Le Douaron.
Hugo Magnetti and Steve Mounié also got on the scoresheet. The home side's strategy seemed to be to apply consistent pressure, keeping possession and dominating the midfield. Montpellier, in contrast, opted for a more direct approach, but ultimately couldn't penetrate the Brestois defence.
Some key substitutions made by both teams in the closing stages further emphasized the intensity of the game, particularly on Brestois's side.
Exciting moments throughout the match were plentiful. A cancelled goal from Steve Mounié in the 23rd minute added intrigue, and Montpellier were cautioned by the referee twice.
Overall, it was a well-deserved victory for Brestois, showcasing their dominance and clinical finishing. A fantastic display from a team who clearly came to win.
