Brest held to a draw by Strasbourg at home in Ligue 1

After the storm, Brest did not want to remain calm and the Bretons presented themselves at the Francis Le Blé stadium with fervor, during a late match on the 12th day of Ligue 1. In vain, because the men Eric Roy conceded a draw against RC Strasbourg this Thursday evening (1-1). The locals therefore missed the opportunity to climb the rankings and remain in 7th place. For its part, Strasbourg (13th) took a short lead of one unit over Toulouse and Clermont, the first non-relegation places.

During the first period, the two teams went blow for blow, while struggling to open the score. From the outset, Strasbourg took advantage of an interesting free kick in the 2nd minute of play, but the ball fled Marco Bizot’s goal. Then, the Brestois created several chances, first with a good cross from Romain Del Castillo (10th) then two corners in the space of five minutes (11th and 16th). Despite an opportunity from Lebo Mothiba in the 29th minute for the Alsatians, it was Jérémy Le Douaron who opened the scoring (44th). In the area, the 25-year-old striker was served in full run by Kamory Doumbia and placed his ball between the legs of Matz Sels.

In the second period, the Rouge et Blanc continued their domination. As the minutes passed, the Breton opportunities became more and more numerous. Romain Del Castillo (51st), Mahdi Camara (69th) and Mathias Pereira Lage (73rd) had the opportunity to widen the gap, without success. A lack of realism which cost the residents of the Francis Le Blé stadium dearly.

Having just entered the game, Moïse Dion overtook his opponent and served Emanuel Emegha, scorer with his right foot (80th). Efficient (5 shots on target out of 9 attempted), the Alsatians resisted numerous attacks in the final minutes to leave with the point of the draw.

The player: Moïse Sahi Dion

On his first ball, the Strasbourg player beat the Brest defender who was covering him to serve his attacker. What’s more, he proved dangerous again a few minutes later, with a shot on target in the 86th minute. He was present on the pitch for only around fifteen minutes, including added time, but rewrote the scenario of the match as soon as he entered play.
