The entry was spectacular. For their first match of the new Ligue 1 season, Stade Brestois and Lille offered the show and goals to their supporters. No winner this Sunday at the Francis-Le Blé stadium, but a draw punctuated by six achievements (3-3). Kamory Doumbia offered a double side Breton, while Olivier Giroud opened the scoring on the northern side.
Arrived this summer after an unhappy experience in Los Angeles FC last season, the former Tricolore international showed that he would still have to count on him. Author of an interesting preparation since his arrival at the DOGUES, the thirty-eight veteran therefore opened the brand for his own (0-1, 11th). Lille then made the break on a goal from Hakon Haraldsson (0-2, 26th).

But less than ten minutes later, Kamory Doumbia reduced the gap for Brest (1-2, 34th). Enough to join the locker room with a little more hope. And it is this same Doumbia that will bring the Bretons back to the height at the very beginning of the second period (2-2, 51st). Uncompromising, the match will continue at the same pace with two teams playing almost in the ping-pong. Lille is once again passing in front of a litigious goal from Ngal Mukau (2-3, 66th).
Brest complaints on Mukau's goal
The assistant referee had immediately raised his flag on the Lille corner, believing that the ball was released before returning to the playing air. Then the Var gave its opinion and Clément Turpin, central referee of the game, finally granted the goal initially refused. Furious, Brest coach, Eric Roy, and his captain, brought a complaint. Case to follow.
But on the ground, the duel continued and Julien Le Cardinal was snatched to equalize again (3-3, 75th). Opportunities there will still be on each side, but the score will no longer evolve. In a week, Lille will receive Monaco while Brest will go to Toulouse.
