The Bretons, who folded without breaking thanks in particular to several decisive interventions by their goalkeeper Marco Bizot, won thanks to a nice goal from Franck Honorat (59th).

The Sang et Or, who dominated the meeting and benefited from several clear chances, may regret a clumsiness that they paid cash.

After its ninth setback of the season, the RCL remains stuck in 7th place with 40 points when it could have temporarily joined fourth, Rennes (43).

The Ty'Zefs have consolidated their 12th place and almost ensured their maintenance since they now total 35 units on the clock, 13 more than the barrage, Metz.

From the start, the Lensois took control of the match and put a lot of pressure on the Brestois, who however remained calm.

The first opportunity was logically in favor of Lens, on a nice inspiration from Gaël Kakuta: the midfielder first controlled the ball in extension and fired a volley from 35 meters which came to die at the foot of the right post of Bizot, which seemed beaten (9th).

The Dutch goalkeeper of SB29 then made a double save on a shot from Arnaud Kalimuendo then a recovery from Jonathan Clauss who had followed well (20th).

Jute before halftime, he blocked a new attempt from Kakuta (42nd).

Upon returning from the locker room, Bizot distinguished himself again by repelling a free kick from Clauss (51st) and above all by making a superb reflex save on a deflection at close range from Florian Sotoca (56th).

Shortly after, the Stade Brestois did not miss their chance: served on the right side, Honorat eliminated two Lensois and concluded his rush with a stung ball which beat Jean-Louis Leca, so far little requested (0- 1, 59e).

The Artésiens then rushed to attack to try to equalize but they still sinned in the last gesture, like Ignatius Ganago (79th).
