For the goals, we will come back. Brest and Rennes parted ways in a goalless draw which does not help anyone (0-0) during the Breton derby of this fourth day of Ligue 1.
At Francis-Le Blé, there was obviously only the public who was ready for this meeting. Brestois and Rennais surrendered blow for blow in the ineffectiveness of being dangerous. Still at the wrong time, Bruno Genesio’s men were content with a few daring strikes from Ludovic Blas (13th) and (28th) but without danger. Brest for their part largely dominated at the end of the first act, until they multiplied the shots (11 in this match) but without managing to deceive Mandanda. As against Marseille, Eric Roy’s men relied on the individual exploits of Del Castillo but lacked teeth in front of the cages, with infuriating failures like that of Le Douaron (16th).
Upon returning from the locker room, Bruno Genesio’s changes did nothing. Even if Désiré Doué brought a little madness to a stationary Rennes attack, Bizot was never very worried. Brest slowly died out, offering an end to the match without impact like this tasteless match.
Despite a third straight draw, Rennes remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 after four games this season. Brest continues and confirms its good start to the season with already seven points. Truce obliges, in two weeks, Rennes will host Lille at Roazhon Park for a duel between two European clubs. Brest for its part will play in Reims.
