Brest is the new leader of L1. Grosso’s arrival on the Lyon bench did not have the desired effect.
Incredible leader that SB29! With the only misstep being a setback against Marseille that was hardly deserved, Brest has had an exceptional start to the season, already marked by five wins in seven days of the championship. This Saturday on behalf of this 7e act, it was at the expense of Lyon that the Bretons took control of the elite (1-0). The day before, Monaco had abandoned its seat in Nice (0-1).
To achieve their goals today, Eric Roy’s men knew how to force their destiny, showing themselves to be dominant from the start. Satriano (5e) and Le Douaron (24e) were quick to test the reflexes of an impeccable Lopes as usual, but OL gave in for a long time without breaking against their generous host. Fabio Grosso, for his first on the Gones bench, decided to pass on Cherki’s kick-off. Not necessarily a good idea…

Lacazette tried to struggle, lighting the fuse twice in the right position (56e74e), only it was the Brestois who still had the best opportunities in the second half. Witness these attempts by Lees-Melou (57e), Le Douaron or even Mounié, which at 86e minute touched wood. On the next cross, the same Breton attacker was more successful, this time finding the net to give his team the victory (1-0, 87e).
SB29 will definitely complete the 7e Ligue 1 day in charge. OL, 18e with two points on the clock, could find themselves last Sunday depending on the results of Lens and Clermont against Toulouse and Le Havre.
