For decisif
With 16 points, Nice is provisionally 5th, while Brest, which still cannot win in the championship before its European deadlines, remains 10th with 13 points.
Carried by the pressing of their trio in midfield, the Brestois were nevertheless dangerous first. Pierre Lees-Melou even had the opportunity to make a successful start to the match, but the sentry did not press his right foot flat enough at the entrance to the area and Bulka was able to divert to his left (5th ).

Apart from a too soft header from Ludovic Ajorque on a perfect serve from Kenny Lala (30th), the locals did not appear in the Nice half and it was on the contrary the visitors who took the upper hand.
With a domination which increased over the minutes Mohamed-Ali Cho thought he gave his team the advantage (36th) on a recovery after a back cross from Ali Abdi, but the goal was finally canceled, Evann Guessand, in an offside position, having obstructed Marco Bizot's vision.
It was only postponed since six minutes later, in an almost copy and paste, Abdi curled a magnificent low cross taken by Guessand at the far post, too easily left free by Soumaïla Coulibaly and Jordan Amavi (0 -1, 42nd).
Nice wall
The Brestois showed a much better face in the second period thanks to a surge driven by Lees-Melou as soon as they returned from the locker room.
The Brest playmaker created two situations, a shot from a tight angle blocked by the Nice goalkeeper (46th) and a right-handed missile from outside the area which hit the left post of Marcin Bulka (51st) . But the domination of the Finisterians came up against the defensive solidity of the Niçois.
The last hopes were dashed when Ibrahim Salah, then Mahdi Camara missed the equalizer with a shot from the left from close range (75th).
