Found in the area after a cross put away by Ajorque, the midfielder opens up an angle with a superb feint. But he almost misses the simplest thing by not aiming his shot, at the penalty point!

64′ – Rrahmani gives up his place on the Sparta side

The most prominent attacker of the game for the Czechs is replaced by Danek. An astonishing choice.

After another perfect tackle from Chardonnet, Brest can counterattack. In front of the area, Lees-Melou can strike but chooses to cross. It’s postponed.

Well placed, the Brest captain tackles in his area and repels the threat after good control from Pesek.

Haïdara crosses towards the Brest surface. It is first deviated by the head of Doumbia, then by that of Ajorque. But the attacker doesn’t fit.

52′ – Ajorque against the goalkeeper’s clearance!

Jensen is served in front of his goal. He takes a little too long and, under pressure from Ajorque, decides to extend it. The attacker deflects the ball with his back. Goal kick for Prague.

The attacker is launched deep. He provokes and tries to dribble, alone against two Czech defenders. But he loses the ball.

46′ – The match resumes in the Czech Republic

It’s back to Prague. Brest kicks off the second half. You have to surf the excellent first 45 minutes!

Once again, the Bretons suffocate Sparta on the restart. The goalkeeper loses the ball in his area, but Mama Baldé commits a foul on a defender in passing.

Images of the lovely Brest goal

Fernandes scored a very nice goal. The just reward for a first half dominated by Brest.

37′ – That goal by Fernandes !!! (0-1)

From a new corner, Doumbia’s center is pushed back. Alone at the edge of the area, Fernandes fires a volley. Off balance, the midfielder slips but sends the ball flush with the post. Splendid !

35′ – Another big miss from Brest

Lala, near the central circle, inherits the ball from a corner return. The full-back deposits a sublime ball into the area, where the Brestois had remained. Absolutely alone, in the middle, Doumbia misses his recovery!

32′ – Ajorque header in the box

Haïdara, more than 30 m, crosses into the area towards Ajorque. The scorer, with his back to the goal, attempts a backwards header but it goes far over.

31′ – Good coverage from Lala

The restless Rrahmani is launched deep, right on the axis. The Brest right-back covered well and restarted.

Mama Baldé intercepts the ball on a Czech restart and goes solo. On the right side of the area, he crosses but it goes out of goal.

26′ – Ajorque’s recovery hits the post!

On a long deep ball, Ajorque passes his body in front of his opponent and finds himself in a striking position on the left side of the area. Off-center, he crosses his shot too much and the ball grazes Jensen’s post.

25′ – Rynes’ half-volley

The Czech left piston arms his recovery on a cross from the right. It’s countered by the defense. Brest has the opportunity to counterattack but plays its transition poorly.

23′ – Ajorque receives a yellow card

After a long sequence of Brest possession, Lala sends a good ball into the area. It is pushed back towards Ajorque, who collapses after a slight contact. He receives a yellow card for simulation. It’s very severe.

20′ – Rrahmani offside

The Prague striker rushes to goal and challenges Bizot. He shoots at the post. He was offside anyway, trapped by the good Brest alignment.

Rrahmani delivers an excellent cross towards Pesek at the far post. He takes his time, but his recovery is pushed back by the defenders.

9′ – Cross pushed back by Baldé

The attacker, launched on the right side, has space. He tries to find Ajorque in the area but his ball is imprecise. Cobbaut returns easily.

5′- Brest has moves to play in transition

The Brest striker goes alone in the right lane. He approaches the area but, alone, lets the ball slip out of the goal.
