Brest secured a comprehensive 5-1 win over Angers at home.

The Ligue 1 clash took place on 10 October 2026 at Stade Francis-Le Blé in Brest. Both sides entered the match looking to improve their season’s momentum, but the home side quickly imposed its intent in front of a supportive crowd.

How it unfolded

The opening stages were dominated by Brest. In the 9th minute Ludovic Ajorque gave the hosts the lead, nodding home a close-range header after a Hugo Magnetti cross. Just six minutes later, Ajorque was cautioned for a bad foul, receiving a yellow card in the 15th minute.

Brest’s attacking rhythm continued unabated. Lucas Tousart doubled the advantage in the 17th minute, heading in from the centre of the box following a Joris Chotard delivery. The home side’s pressure paid further dividends at the half-hour mark when Kenny Lala converted a penalty with a right-footed strike into the bottom left corner, making it 3-0.

The first half closed on a high note for Brest as Mama Baldé added his name to the scoresheet in the 45th minute, firing a right-footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner after an assist from Pathé Mboup.

Angers responded immediately after the break, narrowing the deficit in the 47th minute. Prosper Peter headed home from very close range, assisted by Joseph Kalulu Kyatengwa, to make it 4-1.

Brest, however, restored a three-goal cushion six minutes later. Pathé Mboup struck from the centre of the box into the top right corner in the 54th minute, with the assist coming from Ludovic Ajorque, bringing the score to 5-1.

The match’s disciplinary moment arrived in the 59th minute when Jordan Lefort of Angers was shown a straight red card, leaving the visitors with ten men for the remainder of the game.

The final notable incident was a yellow card for Branco van den Boomen of Angers in the 87th minute, completing the match’s booking tally.
