The game started with a lot of rhythm and with both sets pressing very hard. Despite enjoying numerous arrivals, both teams lacked the necessary danger until in the 33rd minute, Le Douaron finished off a cross from Pereira Laga at the post. Stade Brestois was about to go ahead.
Minutes later, who could make it 0-1 was Tavares. the portuguese side pushed in a cross from Jonathan Clauss after a phenomenal play rehearsed at the exit of a corner. Before the break, Milik was able to widen the distance after an error that goalkeeper Bizot finally corrected..
Already in the second half, Alexis Sánchez debuted with Marseille. Meanwhile, the locals tried it through magnetti Y Belaili unsuccessfully, partly because of the good performance by former Celta player Rubén Blanco.
However, in the 61st minute, Stade Brestois equalized. Lees-Melou, with a powerful shot from about 20 meters after picking up a rebound, managed to beat Blanco.
Moments later, the locals were able to come back after a play between Belkebla Y Honor, but the shot went just over the crossbar. The match slowed down due to fatigue and stoppages due to substitutions and we reached the end with the tie at one.
