23:22 – The Cardinal injured for a long time
The downside of this evening for Brest was Julien Le Cardinal’s hamstring injury. Relive his goal against PSV on video
23:18 – This is not an achievement
Brendan Chardonnet believes in a potential direct qualification to the round of 16″I don’t think it’s an achievement, during the match we had a lot of chances but it was well deserved. We know that we have some absentees, but we have confidence in the group, there were twenty of us today, but there were twenty dog deaths. Now we are qualified at least for the play-offs. There is still something to do in Gelsenkirchen against Chakhtior, if we can qualify for the top 8 we will not deprive ourselves of it“
23:15 – Brest returns to 5th place
While waiting for tomorrow’s matches, Brest returns to 5th place in the ranking with 13 points. The top 8 is entirely possible in the event of an additional victory against Chakhtior or Real Mardid. PSV for its part fell to 21st place with 8 points.
23:08 – The summary
It will be another beautiful page in the epic of Brest in the European Cup. Another exceptional feat with this unexpected success against PSV Eindhoven (1-0). Solidarity, self-sacrifice, desire and a lot of effort, these are the ingredients of this great victory against the Champions of the Netherlands. Eric Roy’s men had to really roll up their sleeves to get the three points and to capsize the wonderful Roudourou crowd once again. Brest’s goal perhaps came in the Bretons’ worst period in this meeting on an opportunistic deflection from Le Cardinal following a header from Baldé (43rd). Discreet beforehand, the Breton club can take a big credit for its goalkeeper Marco Bizo, author of impressive saves against Tilman (13th), Boscagli (20th), De Jong (31st, 40th). The Dutch goalkeeper was once again decisive in the match with a tense strike from Pepi (77th).
But to summarize this meeting as an attack – defense would be too simplistic for Chardonnet’s partners, once again imperial this evening. Because Brest took advantage of numerous spaces in the second half to continually threaten Benitez until the end of the match. Baldé twice (47th, 50th), Del Castillo (77th), Doumbia (88th) then Pereira Lage (91st) were very close to making the break. The Pirates will be able to make do with the essentials and the joy shared against the Kop at the end of the evening is as memorable as this umpteenth feat in the European Cup. The play-offs are already assured, but direct qualification for the round of 16 is far from utopian.
22:54 – Victory for Brest
