Brest failed and still did not secure its access to the Champions League

Brest will have to wait to prove their presence in the next edition of the Champions League after failing to win this Friday’s draw at home (1-1) against a Stade de Reims who arrived at the Francis-Le Blé stadium out of the running .

Those are an event Eric Roy that, after securing participation two days ago, for the first time in their history, in European competitions, this Friday they had the possibility of achieving the ‘jackpot’, presence in the Champions League, if they achieved success.

The goals, in the first half

A goal that seemed more doable for Brest, the great revelation of the French championship, who before the first minute of play already had a good chance to take the lead with a shot from the midfielder. Mahdi Camara.

What did not waste their first chance was Reims, who in their first dangerous approach to the rival area took the lead (0-1) with a goal from Zimbabwe. Marshall Munetsi, who headed a cross from Japanese Junya Ito into the net.

A result that led to a siege by the local team, which did not find reward until the time extension of the first half when the central defender Lilian Brassier leveled the contest (1-1) by heading a lateral free kick taken by Kenny Lala

Brest never scored again despite the fact that ‘Ti Zefs’ had the occasional good chance to win, but neither Jeremy Le Douaron which ended up crossing over, nor the Beninese Steve Mounie, that in the 78th minute he shot too high and in the 94th minute he headed into the goalkeeper’s hands, they managed to score.

The lack of punch will force Brest to risk their presence in the Champions League on the final day when Eric Roy’s men visit the Toulouse field on May 19.

Nice beat Le Havre

Nice, with a game in hand, moved four points behind Brest after beating Le Havre (1-0) with a goal from Jeremie Boga. Today, the Italian team Francesco Fariolim, fifth in the table, has gained access to European competitions two years after its last presence.
