On Sunday, February 18, Brest hosted Marseille at home, with whom Shakhtar will have a return match in the LE.
From the first minutes the hosts began to put pressure and create chances, but the ball stubbornly did not go into the goal. At the same time, Marseille could do little to oppose the opponent, but in the first half the score was never opened.
The second half was supposed to be a complete copy of the first, but in the 60th minute the Brest forward received a straight red card for a flagrant foul. It would seem that there was a chance for Marseille, but even with ten men, Brest played more confidently than Gattuso’s men.
At the very end of the match, Aubameyang finally had a chance to open the scoring, but Cooder's perfect save prevented him from becoming the hero of the match. But in the return attack, the hosts still snatched victory thanks to the individual actions of Pierre Lees-Melu.
