Promoted in Ligue 1, the Stade Brestois has long believed to hold the victory on the lawn of Saint-Étienne, but the Stéphanois were able to react late in the game.

Sunday afternoon, Saint-Etienne could not do better than the draw at home against the promoted Brest, during the second day of the championship of France (1-1). The men of Ghislain Printant were able to react late in the game to avoid an embarrassing defeat.

Brest can blame it

For this new season, the Saint-Etienne are aiming for a new qualification in the European Cup. Irretrievably, it will go through victories against seemingly affordable teams, like Brest, promoted in Ligue 1 this season and come in the Cauldron with intentions in the game.

The Britons also took the advantage before the break, thanks to the defender Julien Faussurier. After the break, Saint-Étienne put more intensity, to finally equalize through Denis Bouanga, fifteen minutes from the end. Joined last week in front of their public against Toulouse, the Brestois relive the same scenario Sunday, and can logically blame themselves.
