The Stade Pontivyen will spend the week warm. The Morbihannais remain in first place in the ranking, after their success against the Stade Brestois reserve. It was the last team still undefeated in the group, along with the Pontivyens.
And in this top-of-the-table match, the locals shot the first arrows. Dominant at the start of the match, they were unable, however, to open the score, despite attempts by Derennes (4'), Josset (12') and Le Floch (17').
Brest strikes first
These warning shots had the merit of waking up the people of Brest. The game was then balanced, to better reflect the true gap between the two teams. But again, neither team managed to take the advantage. “It was a balanced match. I understand the frustration of the people of Brest, underlined Frédéric Le Galliard, the Pontivy coach. Our entrants have made their contribution to the building. »
It was indeed necessary to count on fresh Morbihan blood to allow the Stadium to maintain its first place. Because it was the Finisterians who opened the scoring, after a collective action with a touch of the ball concluded by Botz (0-1, 59').
An exclusion that changes everything
But in addition to the changes, the Pontivyens also benefited from the numerical inferiority of the Brestois. Following a confused action, Diop was sent off (68'). In the process, Guéhenneux equalized for his team (1-1, 72'). “I would have liked more fairness, commented Franck Kerdilès, the SB29 technician. Decisions made will penalize us for the rest of the competition. »
And before that for the rest of the match. Invigorated by this equalization, the locals took the advantage through Beaugendre (2-1, 79'), before Madi sealed the victory for the Jaune et Noir (3-1, 90').

“We now want to preserve our invincibility. Especially since we have the best defense in the group. But the competition is long”concluded Le Galliard.
