Media365 editorial staff, published on Sunday May 01, 2022 at 4:52 p.m. This Sunday, during the 35th day of Ligue 1, Brest chained a 3rd victory in a row by dominating Clermont (2-0), thanks to goals from Brassier and Mounié. The Auvergnats therefore remain in 17th row. Brest manages the pass of three! Recently fallen from Lyon (2-1) and Metz (1-0), the Breton club (11th) which has nothing left to play in the standings disposed of Clermont (2-0) this Sunday. The players of Michel Der Zakarian, the former coach of CF63, imposed their rhythm on the first quarter of the match. They used the left lane a lot to initiate their offensives and saw the opposing goalkeeper, Ouparine Djoco, save the Clermont house on several occasions. On a corner in particular, the last rampart was lobbed by Youcef Belaïli’s inbound trajectory but he was able to remove the ball on his line (16th). The match changed in the 22nd minute when Romain Del Castillo was sent off by Mr. Lissorgue. The referee first took out a yellow card to punish the Brestois, author of a heavy tackle on Jodel Dossou, before watching the video and swapping the first penalty for a red card. From then on, the “Team Pirates” logically retreated while keeping strong offensive inclinations like a clear shot from Steve Mounié which ricocheted off the Clermont post (39th). The two teams returned to their locker room with a goalless draw.
Belaïli as a conductorClermont had two big highlights at the start and end of the second period with several chances to be credited to Akim Zedadka (50th), Mohamed Bayo (52nd), Elbasan Rashani (57th), Saîf-Eddine Khaoui (66th), Grejohn Kyei (80th) or even Jim Allevinah (83rd), without ever deceiving the vigilance of Marco Bizot. Conversely, the SB29 was able to exploit its opportunities despite its numerical inferiority. He ignited the Francis-Le Blé stadium on the hour mark thanks to Belaïli, author of a capital performance and involved in the two achievements of his team. The Algerian international hit the corner bringing the opener from Lilian Brassier (60th) and delivered a delightful assist from the outside of the foot to Steve Mounié (62nd), who finished with a header from an angle not obvious. Clermont can blame himself and remains in great danger three games before the end of the season.
