The Champions League on myCANAL
After a successful entry into the running during the first day of the group stage of the Champions League – a 2-goal victory against Sturm Graz – Stade Brestois once again surprised Europe. In Salzburg, Eric Roy’s men initially suffered, to the point of thinking they were trailing. But thanks to an immense Marco Bizot and a festival of 3 goals in 9 minutes in the second half, Brest won overwhelmingly against RB Salzburg. A correction, 4-0, worthy of the team that turned Ligue 1 upside down last year. This year, it’s Europe that must be wary of the Ty’Zefs!
Despite the swell, Brest leads at half-time!
After a great home victory against Sturm Graz (2-1), Eric Roy’s men started their second meeting in C1 against another Austrian team, RB Salzburg. In their European garb, but from home, Stade Brestois began their match by imposing their rhythm, applying effective pressure to the Austrians. With the same eleven as on the first day, Brest even got the first opportunity of the match.
Despite this good start, Brest felt the harsh reality of European matches. From a corner, Salzburg almost opened the scoring after a poorly cleared ball which ended up at the feet of Cardinal. The ball flew towards the goal and, due to lack of concentration, the Brest defense and Bizot watched helplessly as the score opened (10th). However, VAR intervened and Mr. Antony Taylor canceled Samson Baidoo’s goal for offside (13th).
After this disallowed goal, Salzburg showed itself to be more and more dangerous, as evidenced by Amar Dedic’s shot from more than 20 meters, which passed a few centimeters from Marco Bizot’s top corner (17th). But despite the storm, the Ty’Zefs have character. On the counterattack, Ludovic Ajorque did a splendid job of conservation. From a distance, in the axis, Sima went deep. The number 9 served his teammate with an exquisite exterior. The Senegalese found himself alone in front of the Austrian goal and placed the ball perfectly in the back of the net (0-1, 24th)! Against the tide, the Brest Pirates led at the Red Bull Arena.
Despite a few chances from the Austrians, such as Marco Bizot’s huge save in front of Oscar Gloukh after a powerful strike (37th) or the save against Mads Bidstrup’s rebound (41st), Brest retained its advantage until half-time. . At that time, the Bretons were provisionally first in the general classification of the group stage.
Brest turns the tide and scores 3 goals in 9 minutes!
Upon returning from the locker room, the agitation of the first period gave way to an apparent calm for Brest. From the start, The Cardinal put the danger in front of the Blaswich goal. On a cross from Del Castillo, the Frenchman headed the ball, but his attempt went well above the Austrian cage (46th). But in these European waters, everything can change quickly.
After a loss of the ball by the Brest defense, Salzburg gave a lot of work to Bizot, who made a triple save on several Austrian strikes (55th), although an offside position was signaled just after. As captain of the ship, the Dutchman clearly kept his team in the race!
Dedic tested Bizot again after eliminating Keny Lala with a hook, but the Brest goalkeeper once again stopped the shot to keep his clean sheet (64th). The goalkeeper’s efforts were rewarded shortly after. On a long ball on the left side, Mama Baldé, who came on in the 63rd minute, controlled the ball perfectly before fixing her opposite number. His cross, poorly cleared by Morgalla, found Mahdi Camara, who with a cross shot made the break for Brest (0-2, 66th)!
Thunder from Brest! Against all expectations, the Ty’Zefs led by two goals, but they didn’t stop there. In the middle, Hugo Magnetti fired a powerful shot after a royal service from Ajorque. Blaswich intervened, but Sima, in ambush, took the ball back to score a double (0-3, 70th). The Brest ship continued its course towards success. Outnumbered in the Austrian camp, the Brestois constructed their actions perfectly. Mama Baldé served Pereira Lage, alone at the edge of the area. With a first-intention strike, the Portuguese deceived Blaswich at the near post, scoring Brest’s third goal in just 9 minutes (0-4, 75th)!
A more than successful first trip for Brest
After this ten-minute festival, the meeting gradually calmed down. Arriving safely, the Brestois celebrated their 4-0 victory. A second consecutive victory in the Champions League and a more than successful first European trip for Stade Brestois. At the end of the match, the Ty’Zefs found themselves provisionally at the top of their group with 6 points and a goal difference of +5!
