Having beaten the PSG leader of the season, the Monegasques went to Brest, where they also hoped to get an important victory. Another success allowed the team of Philippe Clement to temporarily push Marseille from the second line in the standings and briefly become the main pursuer of the Parisians.

Brest was not among the favorites of the season, fighting for better positions at the bottom of the standings. However, for almost 40 minutes Philippe Clement’s team could not find the key to the opponent’s goal. Moreover, the owners themselves did not hesitate to attack, threatening the possessions of Alexander Nyubel. Yet the first capitulated goalkeeper of the local team.

Krislen Matsima made a pass from the right flank into Brest’s penalty area. Eliss Ben-Segir tried to improve his position, but almost made a loss in the fight against his opponent. Fortunately for him, Wissam Ben Yedder turned out to be nearby, who managed from a difficult position to lay the ball right under Golovin’s blow. Alexander had only not to lose his head and put an end to this collective masterpiece. The Russian player did an excellent job with this task.
