00:00If this fixture had taken place the season before last, not many would have really taken much note.
00:11It's Le Havre that get us underway in their usual dark and light blue strip.
00:18Normandy against Brittany. Pellier-Nice against Paris Saint-Germain tonight.
00:23Brest get their first chance to come forward.
00:25Kamore Dumbia in for Romain Fervre today, the Mali international.
00:34Before that, now on the defensive though, corner kick out by a jork, still not away though
00:43and they're gonna settle for...
00:47Now it's the Portuguese who's going to send in this set piece. Not a bad ball, still not away.
00:53Now who did that come off? It's going to be a goal kick.
00:59It was a strange feeling for them last season, fighting for the title even though nobody really
01:04believed that they would take it. It wasn't like when Lille beat Paris Saint-Germain to the crown.
01:08In it comes and there's a jork!
01:13And the goal comes and it's the top man up front who gets it.
01:17Ludovic Ajorx, second goal since arriving from German football club Mainz.
01:28He's played in both games in the Champions League so far without scoring.
01:33But that's a lovely finish. De Ma completely exposed, had no idea which side it was going
01:39to go, was brilliantly buried by the giant centre forward who's usually on top of the
01:45centre forward who's usually on target with his head but today it's a poked volley.
01:55And Brest looking for only their third win of the new...
02:04So then coming from a long way out.
02:08Shot fired in by Etienne Ude to the ball and it's played out there by Abdoulaye N'Daye.
02:14Again though they give the ball away cheaply encouraging Lahav to come forward and space
02:18in the middle. Chardonnay though getting himself in the way of the shot.
02:23They've been to the Stade Francais Le Bley and that's score. If they don't then they're not going
02:28to get any points at all today. They're on the attack looking at the moment. Husni.
02:32They're on the attack looking at the moment. Husni. Oh that was not the best challenge.
02:39On the Moroccan under 23 international and on second yellow card comes out.
02:44Now I think they're looking here to see whether or not, I think there might be more
02:48than just a yellow card. Oh my word this is bad news for Abdoulaye N'Daye.
02:55He comes through.
02:57Hits the standing foot although he has, yeah he hits the standing foot.
03:09And I think they've decided yeah he's going to stay with a yellow card. So Perry.
03:19Lining up this ball into the middle it's all the way across.
03:23Ball into the middle it's all the way across. Etienne Ute almost there.
03:36Pereira-Large with the tackle and then the shot wide. Mama Balladet.
03:42There was Kenny Lala however picked up by a Perry again. Nice feet
03:46and a lovely ball into the middle. Still not away. Real chance. Shot coming in for Rasul and
03:54N'Daye but better. Finally Brest managed to put something together in an attack
03:59and it's a really good one. Mama Balladet meets Artur Deyman. The goalkeeper wins the battle.
04:05In it comes in and it's not bad and it's gone wide from Abdoulaye Touré.
04:13It was a sharp chance and is intercepted by N'Ego.
04:21Taliahin. Out wide is a Perry as usual. A Perry cuts back inside looks for the shot and is cut
04:29out by Lala. We might well see him in the second half finally for his first appearance.
04:42Oh that's her trouble for Gautier-Loris. He's lost the ball to Mama Balladet.
04:47Balladet set up the first goal from this side. He's looking to set up another. In it comes to Pereira-Large.
04:59In it comes again then. Oh Perry. Back post again and it's tipped away
05:03by Bizot. Couldn't finish it off and at half time it is Brest 1
05:09La Havre 0. Thanks to Ludovic Ajorc in the 12th minute.
05:15Second half goes and Brest kick off leading by one goal to nil in the second period. The goal
05:21in the 12th minute scored by that man and Brest rather went into their shells. They need to find
05:27a way to push forward. This is Massadio Haidera down the line. Mama Balladet who set up the first
05:32goal keeps on going. He goes down. Is it going to be a free kick? It is and an early chance here
05:39and a red card is going to take this.
05:46It's not a bad ball in but it's met by a La Havre head. Back in again by Magnetti. Still not away
05:53of Perry with the head up. Back in again by Magnetti and it's a finally.
05:57Mardy Kammerer racing on the right hand side. Dumbia drifting inside at the moment while the
06:03counter-attack has ended. Here's Pierre-Liz Melou. His first touch. Don't tell me. Saved by Desmas.
06:11Still not away. A jork into the middle.
06:14In he comes from of Perry. It's a good ball in. Oh, that was inches away from being put in the back of the net.
06:23Loris is a ball that's gone wide.
06:30It's that ball. It's a ball that's gone wide.
06:38Toure steps back inside. Delivers the ball out to a Perry again.
06:43A Perry looking for another killer ball into the middle.
06:51Inside the last 19 minutes. A Perry delivers and it's straight into the arms
06:55of the breast shot stopper. Magnetti or rather Martin out wide.
07:01Oh, they've given that away. Haidara getting himself into trouble and now he's given away
07:05a free kick and that will surely be a yellow card and it will mean a red card. Off goes
07:12Massadio Haidara. So then it's 10 against 10 now. This should open things up of Perry with
07:20the free kick. Too close this time to Bezo and he holds on safely.
07:27Space for breast to attack. Feels like a long time since they've been into the penalty area.
07:35Martin seems to have removed the danger from Lahav trying to relight it now. Kechta with a
07:41lovely ball into the middle. Sabi can't take it. Picked up by Juju and then way over the top by a
07:49Perry. Well if any man deserved to score. Underneath it was Kuzyev.
07:57Salah. Salah taking on Nago and beating him. First time he's had a real chance and he's
08:02hit the underside of the bar. He's been since arriving from the LA Galaxy and he comes on to
08:10try and ruin his former team's plans as the ball comes in and is picked off by Dismas.
08:19At least he'll be at home but it will be against Lyon. Del Castillo almost halfway through the
08:26four minutes of time added on with a lovely ball down the line and it's a beautiful goal from Salah.
08:35Wonderful stuff. Well he had a great chance down the left-hand side with which he hit the bar
08:41but on the right foot no mistake. Eric Waugh's side now with a first goal for Brest
08:50by Ibrahim Salah since his summer arrival from Rennes.
08:58Dismas collapses to the ground. They have not had that many shots in this game
09:05but they have been much more ruthless in front of goal than Lahav have been when they've come along.
09:12And a third victory for Brest now. The best ball in. Martin picks it up once more and the referee
09:18blows for the end of the game. A third victory of the season for Brest to go with their two wins
09:25in the Champions League.
