Brest is unsinkable. Even tossed around by the Lorient waves, certainly spaced out and hardly stormy, Stade Brestois managed to win this Sunday in Morbihan (0-1) to regain its place as runner-up to Paris SG in the standings. A victory all the more precious as the Finistère club without its Lees-Melou compass, suspended. For Lorient, the result turns out to be cruel and could push it into the red zone.
In the first period, the Brestois were forced to turn their backs, jostled as they were by their Morbihan neighbors. And even relying on luck on a little personal number from Ponceau, who played Chardonnet before sending a powerful right-footed strike to the post of a Bizot for once beaten (42nd). The Finistère goalkeeper who stood out in the 20th minute by repelling an attempt from Bouanani. On the Brest side? Not much to report during a particularly poor 45 minutes offensively, with no shots on target.
And the second act was hardly going to wake up the Moustoir audience, who could happily take a nap in the face of the total absence of opportunities until the entry into the last ten minutes, the moment chosen by Yongwa to solicit a Bizot who was always vigilant and imperturbable (80th). Until the stab from Del Castillo who, entering on the hour mark, came to crucify the Merlus in the 86th minute of play with a precise cross strike at ground level (0-1). The best way to celebrate the birth of his little girl the day before for the Brest striker.
