For the first time in its history in the Champions League, Stade Brestois got the better of Strum Graz, this Thursday in Guingamp (2-1).

Stade Brestois European Cup… the great adventure continues! Surprise guest on the Ligue 1 podium last season and thus invited to the Champions League for the first time in its history, SB29 did not miss its debut in the most prestigious of continental competitions this Thursday evening at the Roudourou in Guingamp.

Facing Sturm Graz, probably the most affordable opponent of its European journey, the Breton club, dominating, logically won with a score of 2-1. Not without having pushed to offer its public an even bigger score. It’s deserved, we know that we don’t have much margin in this competition so we will always give our all.said Captain Brendan Chardonnet, hot off the press, on Canal+. The work is not finished, there are seven matches left but we are at 100% victory in the Champions League! »

In Salzburg in two weeks

A nice wink indeed from the Brest defender, who can properly savour the historic performance of his partners, and the achievements in particular of Hugo Magnetti (23e) and Abdallah Sima (56e). Two beautiful goals synonymous with success when the Austrian team simply found the fault on an own goal from the unfortunate Edimilson Fernandes (45e+1).

Like PSG, who beat Girona the day before (1-0), and Monaco, who at the same time beat Barça at Louis-II (2-1), Brest is starting its Champions League campaign ideally and is already on the right track in this mini-championship with 36 clubs. It is in Austria that Eric Roy’s men will try to keep up the pace in two weeks, on the pitch of RB Salzburg. The meeting is set for 1er next October.
