19:30 – Marseille Festival, the summary

What a match at the Stade Francis-Le Blé this Saturday afternoon. For this first match of the season in Brest, Eric Roy's players had a date with a big name in Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille. On the OM side, this first-day clash marked the debut of Roberto De Zerbi for OM but also those of Greenwood, Hojbjerg, Rulli, Cornelius and Wahi, starters.

And it was important not to be late at the stadium. In the third minute, Greenwood was launched deep before using his speed to beat Bizot with his right foot (0-1, 3rd). Six minutes later, Brest had the chance to equalise after a penalty conceded by Cornelius but Romain Del Castillo came up against Rulli, who had a festival today. The match was balanced but Marseille were extremely realistic. On their second chance, Marseille made the break after a goal from Luis Henrique, well served by Harit at the end of a counter-attack (0-2, 26th). Five minutes later, Harit ran into the area after contact with Jonas Martin and won a penalty, converted by Greenwood (0-3, 31st). The first period ended with a real masterpiece from Mahdi Camara. Del Castillo overflowed on his right side and crossed back. In front of the area, Camara controls and volleys the ball into the back of the net on a crossbar (1-3, 45+1st).

After the break, the scenario was the same. It took only three minutes for the Olympians to find the back of the net. Greenwood escaped on the left of the Brest area and wanted to serve Wahi. Chardonnet pushed back as best he could at the penalty spot but Luis Henrique followed up well and struck with his left foot between Bizot's legs (1-4, 48th). & Twenty minutes from the end of regulation time, the Marseillais obtained a second penalty after a stepover by Greenwood and contact with Amavi. Discreet until then, Wahi sent a missile right down the middle to unblock his counter (1-5, 69th). The end of the match was marked by the horrible injury to the right knee of Farès Moumbagna, who was taken off on a stretcher. With this great victory, De Zerbi has made a successful debut and sent a message to his competitors.

There's no need to worry, it's the first day. We're going to work. I don't think Brest wanted to play too much. On the pressing, we were sometimes late and that's why we were hit by counterattacks. We were hoping for better but there are still games to go.”
