Stade Brestois 29 delivered a flawless performance at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, defeating OGC Nice 4-1 and snapping a four-game losing streak in Ligue 1. The home side regained confidence with a clear and much-needed victory, while the visitors were exposed by a fragile defense and lack of response.

Brest strikes early and takes control

The start was a whirlwind for the hosts. Just six minutes in, Ludovic Ajorque opened the scoring with a precise finish, and three minutes later Romain Del Castillo doubled the lead to make it 2-0, shattering Nice’s game plan.

The visitors tried to react, and in the 30th minute Terem Moffi pulled one back to make it 2-1. That goal gave some breathing room to the Côte d’Azur side, but it wasn’t enough to stop Brest’s relentless dominance.

In the second half, the Breton side reasserted its authority. Joris Chotard struck in the 70th minute to extend the lead to 3-1, sinking Nice’s hopes. Finally, in the 76th, Rémy Labeau-Lascary sealed the 4-1 scoreline after an assist from Ajorque, capping off a dream night for Brest.

Brest bounces back; Nice in trouble

The win is a major morale boost for Stade Brestois, who urgently needed to break their poor run of form. With Ajorque leading the attack and contributions from Del Castillo, Chotard, and Labeau-Lascary, the team showed clinical finishing and capitalized on every mistake by their opponent.

In contrast, OGC Nice were overwhelmed from the start. Although Moffi managed to score, the visitors never settled into the match. Their defensive fragility and lack of reaction in the second half highlight worrying signs for Francesco Farioli’s men, who must quickly adjust if they want to remain in the European race.

Match takeaway

The rout leaves Brest with renewed confidence and the belief that they can be a tough opponent at home. For Nice, the defeat is a heavy blow that forces a tactical rethink and defensive adjustments if they don’t want to jeopardize their Ligue 1 ambitions.
