PARIS — Brest held on to beat struggling Metz 4-3 and consolidate second place in the French league on Sunday, moving the unheralded club closer to qualification for the Champions League for the first time.
Brest has never finished higher than eighth in its history, and Europe’s elite competition is within reach for the small club from Brittany. Governing body UEFA recently visited the 15,000-seater Stade Francis Le Blé amid concerns it will not meet the norms to host Champions League games. But the home fans enjoyed a 3-1 halftime scoreline thanks to goals from defender Brendan Chardonnet, midfielder Kamory Doumbia and striker Steve Mounié. Uruguay forward Martín Satriano headed in the fourth goal on the hour mark.
