00:00So Brest's attempt to back up a brilliant bronze last season begins with a visit from
00:08the nine-time Ligue 1 champions Marseille, Les Olympiens looking to reclaim a medal.
00:13The journey to discover which colour that could be begins now.
00:21So here we go then, match day one, Parisians picking up where they left off, reigning champions
00:28scoring within three minutes, and these two will certainly make a decent effort to get
00:40something going quickly here on the home side of doing just that, it was a dangerous fall
00:44in.
00:45Marseille have worked their way out though and now can profit from the space at the other
00:53end.
00:55But it's all the way through, on his own, from Mason Greenwood, well they scored inside
01:04three minutes in the opening game of the season, Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille have matched
01:11them, exactly that, the third minute and Greenwood gets Marseille up and running for the season.
01:23Marseille waited ball through, Wai was in the middle, he chose to go on his own, found
01:30the bottom corner, a glance up, Bizot trying to narrow the angle, his fellow debutants
01:43really enjoyed that, as did Ady Kamra, as York goes down in the middle there are big
01:51appeals from on and off the pitch, fevered away fans, but perhaps they should be, because
02:00the referee appears to be heading over to the pitch side monitor, Villers clearly have
02:11decided this is worth another look for the referee, Benoit Bastien will have the angles
02:26he requires and are Marseille about to lose a lead, they've only held for three minutes,
02:39well they're going to have to rely on Geronimo Rulli to stop that from happening, because
02:52Benoit Bastien has pointed to the spot and handed out a yellow card as well, Cornelius
02:58is pleading his case, the referee's mind is made up and it will now be over to Rulli to
03:11bail out his centre-back, and it's a save from the keeper, Greenwood grabs a goal on
03:28his debut, Rulli saves a penalty on his debut, Marseille fail to clear it again, Del Castillo
03:40shimmies, dummies inside, it's going to drop on the edge of the area, palmed away again
03:44by Rulli, it's a well-struck volley, Fox tries to pull it back for a jork, it's just behind
03:50the centre-forward, it's going away by Luis Enrique, space again for Greenwood here, Likard
04:02now comes over, Greenwood cuts back, lays it up on the edge, it's brilliantly flicked
04:06on by Harit, and deflected beyond Marco Bizotte, and it's the lead doubled in painful fashion
04:16for Brest, well Luis Enrique takes the plaudits, again just too much space offered up to Les
04:32Olympia, the flick, and Enrique a little fortunate with the deflection, but in the right place
04:43at the right time, Brendan Chardonnay deflects it beyond his own goalkeeper, it's a lovely
04:58spin away from Amin Harit, knocks it on, and gets it back from way, goes down, and
05:05the referee points to the spot, and it just goes from bad to worse for Brest, another
05:13yellow handed out, and a shake of the head from Jonas Martin, again Amin Harit starting
05:37the move off with the spin, slowing down, Martin coming into the back of him, and it
05:45was, Greenwood gets his second, and Marseille's third, with barely half an hour on the clock,
06:05it's fair to say, that the dream season, enjoyed by the Brest fans is quickly becoming
06:15a distant memory, this new campaign started out as a nightmare, this has been the case
06:34on too many an occasion, that time, it did find a man in red, and it was Matias Pereira
06:41Laja, some here wouldn't go amiss for Del Castillo, who does get on his bike, pulls
06:46it back to the edge of the area, and the shot, flies in, off the underside of the bar from
06:51Mati, cover up, and that is what they've been waiting for, inside the Stade Francis
07:10Leblanc, struck to perfection, one touch, and slicing across it, beyond the fingertips
07:17of Gerardo Marulli, this time, the Argentine couldn't keep Brest out, the momentum you
07:24can hear inside the stadium, what an impact it's had, practically the final kick of the
07:32half, well after a very difficult first half, there is motivation after that screamer, so
07:46back underweight for the second half, 3-1 the score at the break, Mason Greenwood already
07:55with a brace on debut for Brest, with one crowd back in the final seconds of stoppage
08:04time in the first half, and here comes Mason Greenwood again, looking for way in the middle,
08:12he's going to sit up for Henrik, and it's 4, 2 for Greenwood, 2 for Henrik, and all
08:28that hope, they carry through half time, for the home fans, in this instance, the problems
08:39of the first half, rearing their ugly heads again, huge amounts of space, this time on
08:46the left wing for Mason Greenwood, and though the initial ball in was partially dealt with
08:54by the Brest captain, Chardonnay only lying it up for Luis Henrik, to calmly slot home
09:06Greenwood, who runs at Jordan Amavi, goes down, and the referee points to the spot once again,
09:13wow, well Greenwood won the penalty, and he's on a hat-trick, I think it's a fair bet, to say
09:32that he will be the man to step up, however, he appears to be leaving this,
09:43he gets the chance to get off the mark as well, and he does so emphatically, 5-1 Marseille,
09:52a debut goal, to go with the two, for the man who won the penalty, from which LAY profits,
10:06wonder from his name, that's how French heritage, and his first game in France ends, as a 5-1,
10:18well, Brest mainly loses their first game of the season, Olympique de Marseille mainly wins
10:25their first game of the season, but I don't know if any of us ever expected a 5-1 thrashing,
10:31which is what it was today, here at Brest, a brace by Rick Greenwood.
