By winning a completely crazy derby on the pitch at Stade Rennais (4-5), Stade Brestois took another step towards qualifying for the next Champions League. Unreal!
We do not know if Stade Brestois will indeed end up qualifying for the Champions League. But this magical season will certainly remain engraved in the memories of Breton supporters, with a special place for this completely crazy derby won this Sunday in Rennes (4-5), in a furious madness.
However, there was cause for concern for Eric Roy’s men, after Arnaud Kalimuendo’s double (4th, 9th) at the start of the match. But after two consecutive defeats, in Lyon (4-3) and against Monaco (0-2), the Finisterians did not give up, and they wrote a new page in their legendary season.
5-4 in the 96th
A first goal (Mounié, 11th), a second (Omari CSC, 48th), a third (Satriano, 54th), and a fourth (Camara, 66th), and Stade Brestois completely turned the tide. But this playful team also has the flaws of its qualities, and after losing in Lyon after leading by two goals, Brendan Chardonnet’s teammates scared each other again, letting Rennes come back through Arthur Theate (3-4, 68th) and Martin Terrier (4-4, 79th).
Except that this time, the outcome was fabulous for Brest, who snatched victory in added time, with a header from Lilian Brassier (4-5, 90th + 6). Brest thus regains its third place in Lille, and keeps fifth, Nice, five points away. The Champions League is starting to smell good for Eric Roy’s squad while Rennes, beaten for the fourth time in five days, finds itself in an unfavorable position in the race for European places.
