Brest put on a show at Stade Francis-Le Ble on Saturday, 10 October 2026, blowing Angers away long before half-time. The home side were 4-0 up at the break and barely let up after that, eventually running out 5-1 winners in a game that was done and dusted by the interval. Angers got a late consolation goal but it meant nothing in the context of the result. For long spells it looked like a training exercise for Brest, who seemed to score at will in that first half. This was about as emphatic as league wins get. Brest will take enormous confidence from putting five past a Ligue 1 opponent, and the manner of it, four goals before the break, suggests a team firing on all cylinders right now. Angers, by contrast, will need to go away and have a hard look at themselves after conceding so freely. A result like this can shift momentum fast, and Brest look like a side that could kick on from here.
