00:00It's important to remember that when these two sides last met in Ligue 1, Brest dominated with a...
00:11It's Angers against Brest, Brest kicking off in all red and Chardonnay already sending the ball long and forward but out beyond Ludovic Kajok.
00:20Kajok, Brest are not the first team to discover how difficult it is to combine newly found Champions League status with their domestic form they were.
00:33Paris Saint-Germain's main rivals for a large part of last season were the side from the western tip of Brittany.
00:39This season they've been looking over their shoulders a bit more, a little bit more of a familiar feel to it in recent years.
00:48However, it's a side that despite the injuries still has the quality to shine as they have shown very much in the Champions League.
00:57Still 7th inside the 8 places for the knockout rounds by right.
01:02They've already booked that, one more win and they'll book a direct entry.
01:09They're guaranteed a place at the moment.
01:13Long throw in, Ludovic Kajok into the middle and Mardy Kamra the former Saint-Etienne man gets the first shot off barely a minute into the game.
01:24Ankle injury that will be assessed.
01:28There's quite a number of players coming back as Eric Waugh said in his press conference on Friday.
01:33One of the reasons why they're laying off the temptation to bring in players in the winter window.
01:41A number of players are due back in mid-January.
01:45Thierry Lees-Mellou was certainly their player of the season last campaign.
01:49However, that ball's been given away at the back by Ndayi.
01:53And he's coming for Lillian Brassier this season who had such a shining campaign last season and has now moved on.
02:01Angers on the attack once more, decent ball in!
02:04And the first goal scored by Lepaul.
02:12First attack, first goal, Angers in front.
02:17With only their 15th goal of the season.
02:31Esteban Lepaul in the line-up today for Nyang.
02:35Beautiful finish for his second goal of the campaign.
02:41It's only the second.
02:44Del Castillo.
02:47The playmaker for the club.
02:50Little Magneti ball there and into Ludovic Kajok and I think he's hit the post.
02:56Not quite sure whether the goalkeeper got anything on it in the end.
03:01Ludovic Kajok with four goals this season.
03:05A new start to the beginning of a new year.
03:09It's well brought down.
03:10And a chance on this far side, Alavina, across!
03:13And it's 2-0!
03:16And it's 2-0!
03:18And it's 2-0!
03:20And it's 2-0!
03:21Across!
03:22And it's 2-0!
03:25If it stands.
03:27And it doesn't.
03:29And he wasn't the only one offside either.
03:31He was offside all the time.
03:42Del Castillo now with the club for its 2021.
03:47Haidara.
03:52Nice ball back inside.
03:55And the shot comes in and a jolt might get there.
04:02All the initial shots from Haidara.
04:07And that allowed a jolt in.
04:16Just managed to recover in time.
04:21Well, they wouldn't have wanted to give away the lead that they've got now with something like that.
04:27In the end though, he did enough.
04:29And it remains 1-0.
04:48Kenny Lala with the free kick.
04:50Looking for a jolt.
04:51In!
04:52And a first real chance.
04:55And Ndayi, the defender.
05:02Abdeli, nice ball.
05:04Oh, it's gone underneath!
05:05Sardare!
05:07And it's gone wide from Lepaul.
05:12Well, he finished the goal off so well before that it's almost a bit like a formality.
05:18But it goes the wrong side of the post as he saw Marco Pizzo looming large in front of him.
05:26And how costly will that miss be at the end of the game?
05:31In front of the away fans.
05:34Del Castillo against the wind.
05:36Blows it in.
05:37And it's punched out by Fofana.
05:39Back in again!
05:41Kamra tried the backheel.
05:43And then Haidara.
05:44And it goes over too.
05:46Ball in by Del Castillo is what you would expect.
05:49Back in again by Haidara.
05:55After the initial shot from Fernandez.
05:59An attempted backheel by Kamra.
06:03A trio of opportunities in one piece of action.
06:06But it remains 1-0.
06:08It's held on to by Fofana.
06:11Right on the half-time whistle.
06:13Headed by Ajouk.
06:20Kick-off.
06:22With Angers leading by a single goal.
06:25Will that be enough?
06:2937 years old now.
06:30Pirit Kapel.
06:32Continuing a lengthy career.
06:37As Esteban Nepal comes off.
06:39Will his goal be the match winner?
06:43The next 15 minutes or so will tell us.
06:4618 teams now in this division.
06:50Last time Angers were in it there were 20.
06:53It means 34 games in the campaign now.
06:56Ball in.
06:57And another chance!
06:59Goes wide.
07:02Abdeli there with a foot-up.
07:04But the ball allowed to continue on.
07:07And it could have so nearly been 2-0.
07:17Launching it as far forward as possible.
07:20It's another throw-in to Angers.
07:23Greeted with another great cheer.
07:25This man looks like he might be the match winner.
07:28Esteban Nepal.
07:30He's only scored two goals this season.
07:32But this will be by far the most important.
07:35Abdeli tries to dribble his way into the box.
07:38Abdeli still going.
07:40Abdeli!
07:42Terrific play from the captain.
07:44He just couldn't quite find the ball at the end of it.
07:47And now the ball's heading in the opposite direction.
07:51Lala takes over once more.
07:55He's tackled though.
07:57Angers.
07:59Edging forward.
08:00Edging forward.
08:0230 seconds to go.
08:04They might finish it off here.
08:06They will finish it off here.
08:08Or will they?
08:11Miang runs away to celebrate.
08:14But the referee has blown the whistle for an offside.
08:30It's a goal.
08:32Miang gets the goal.
08:34And Angers get the win.
08:42So that's full-time.
08:44Arestad Raymond-Coppa.
08:46And Angers secure an impressive 2-0 victory over Brest.
