Nantes vs Brest

A last-gasp header denied Nantes a precious win at the Stade de la Beaujoire, as Brest snatched a 1-1 draw deep into stoppage time on Matchday 30 of Ligue 1. Mostafa Mohamed opened the scoring in the 9th minute, assisted by Francis Coquelin, and the hosts looked set to grind out a crucial three points. That hope dimmed in the 63rd minute when Dehmaine Tabibou was dismissed — his yellow card upgraded to a straight red after a VAR review — leaving Nantes to defend with ten men for the rest of the match. Brest made the numerical advantage count when Brendan Chardonnet powered home a Romain Del Castillo cross in the 90+5th minute to steal the equaliser. It is a gut-punch for Nantes, who remain rooted in the relegation zone and will feel the points slipped away in the most painful fashion. Brest, sitting comfortably in mid-table, take a point from their superior possession — but they will know a dominant display ultimately deserved more.
