00:07Welcome to today's match between Lille and Brest at the magnificent Stade-Pierre-Moroy
00:11for this League One clash on match day 22. Lille will be desperate to secure their first league
00:17victory of the year 2026. While their visitors from Brittany, Brest, aim to build on a positive
00:22result last time out, it has been a difficult start to the year for the home side. Lille are
00:28currently stuck in fifth place after a goalless draw with Mets last weekend. That result means
00:32they are now winless in five straight League One matches, a run in which they have managed to score
00:37only a single goal. Manager Bruno Genesio will be concerned by this lack of firepower and the fact
00:42his team could drop points in six consecutive games for the first time since late 2021. Brest,
00:49on the other hand, will arrive with some confidence. They currently sit in 12th place but moved up the
00:54table thanks to a solid two-nil victory over rivals Lorient last weekend. That one ended a
01:00three-match winless run and was their second clean sheet of the calendar year. A positive result here
01:04could lift them into the top half of the standings as they are only three points behind ninth-placed
01:19The first half was a story of Lille dominance without the cutting edge to show for it. From the very
01:26first minute, the home side pressed forward. Inside the opening 20 minutes, Lille created a host of
01:33chances. M'Galile Moukau tested Brest goalkeeper Grégoire Koudert with a low save in the fifth minute.
01:40Sariba Dayan then forced another fine stop from Koudert, following a good assist from Hakan Arner
01:46Heraldson. Matias Fernandes-Pardo also saw a header brilliantly saved by the busy Koudert.
01:53Lille continued to pile on the pressure, winning numerous corners and seeing efforts from Benjamin
01:58Andre and Alexandro Ribeiro blocked or missed the target. The second half burst into life.
02:05In the 58th minute, against the run of play, Brest took the lead. Lebo Lascari picked up the ball
02:12outside the box and unleashed an unstoppable right-footed strike that flew past Azar to make
02:18it nil-one. The goal changed the complexion of the game. Brest grew in confidence, and Kenny Lalla
02:25forced a fine save from Azar with a powerful shot. Lille responded by introducing Nabil Bentaleb
02:31and Gaten Perrin from the bench. The changes paid dividends in the 71st minute. Perrin,
02:38who had just entered the field, found himself in the center of the box and fired a right-footed shot
02:43into the net to level the score at 1-1. Both teams pushed for a winner in the final stages.
02:55As a result of the drop of the game, Brest took off. Okay, we're behind the table, but
02:56we got a couple of things and we just went into the next few minutes. We were going to
02:56turn the table into the bench and shoot for a winner in the next few minutes. And that's
02:56what we're going to be right. So we're going to turn the table in the 90s. And I had
02:56we're going to get over to Koudert has a nice little bit of this present.
02:57And I had to turn the table to the table every single day. And I let Balert
02:57of the table during this evening I know this is a small party team, so I'll take
