Brest's players celebrate after winning the French L1 football match between Stade Rennais FC and Stade Brestois 29 at the Roazhon Park stadium in Rennes, western France, on April 28, 2024. — AFP picPARIS, April 29 — Brest took another big step towards qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history by scoring deep in injury time to beat Rennes 5-4 in an incredible Ligue 1 game yesterday.
They had been 2-0 down inside nine minutes after Arnaud Kalimuendo netted twice for the home side at Roazhon Park, but quickly pulled one back through Steve Mounie and then equalised just after the break via a Warmed Omari own goal.However, Arthur Theate and Martin Terrier both scored to bring Rennes back level again, apparently securing them a precious point in the fight for European qualification before Brassier struck.
The top three teams in Ligue 1 qualify automatically for next season’s expanded Champions League, with the team in fourth entering the competition in the preliminary rounds.Ismaily and Yusuf Yazici scored Lille’s goals as they came from behind to take all three points after Georgian international Georges Mikautadze put Metz ahead from the penalty spot.
However, they will secure their 12th title, and 10th in 12 seasons, if Monaco fail to win at Lyon yesterday evening.Nice remain four points behind Lille, meaning Champions League qualification looks to be beyond them.
