00:00For Brest, they are now 11th on the table and they've split wins and defeats in the last 5 and 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 games, ok? 3 losses and 2 wins.
00:18It's a Brittany derby between Rennes and Brest. Two sides experiencing greatly contrasting fortunes this season. Rennes came into the campaign hoping to challenge for European qualification.
00:33It's good running from Asenio, who is a real attacking weapon, getting forward from right back for Rennes and he's shot across the face of goal.
00:45A first Rennes corner of the game which Jordan James will deliver.
00:51Swinging ball, looking for the head of Wu. It's a brilliant save by Marco Bizot, still the danger, not over for Brest. Comes out to James.
01:08Christopher Wu got up well, just lacked a bit of power, that's what helped Marco Bizot as he dived to his left.
01:16In Thierry Henry's France squad at the Olympics. Dumbia looking to release Balde. Mama Balde from the angle and Brice Samba had that covered.
01:47Balde. Checks his run, waiting for some support to come.
01:57Shot from Eddie Nielsen Fernandez, he was just keeping an eye on any possible infringement in there. So many bodies packed in front of the goal line. It comes out for the shot from long range, it's driven in.
02:11Ugo Magnetti. Brest draw first blood in the Brittany derby.
02:17Sturm Graz in their first ever Champions League game in September and he has found the net with that crisply struck shot from outside the box.
02:35Low into the corner beyond the reach of Brice Samba.
02:43The problems are growing.
02:46And a wren can break. Here is Fofana.
02:51Inside to Assignon. He has Ludovic Blass to his right. Ludovic Blass drives in the shot.
02:58An easy save for the Dutch goalkeeper.
03:02Brilliant last season, he's not been in quite the same form in this campaign. He did, having said that, have a brilliant game against PSV in the Champions League.
03:16Corner cleared at the near post, out to James.
03:20Blass trying to curl one to get any power behind it.
03:33Jordan James. James can hit it.
03:37He's got a good shot on him and it was deflected on its way.
03:41It's clearly won over Jorge Sampaoli. Jordan James has seen off a lot of competition for places in central midfield.
03:51And that was very nearly a leveller for Wren via the deflection.
03:56And that will probably be the last of the first half action here.
04:01There is the whistle which is greeted.
04:05Loud, loud boos from the stands. You can understand it from the team, that's flirting.
04:15It's Presto-Guerreras underway in the second half. The men in white leading by a goal to nil here in this derby clash.
04:25Maybe should have been a bit more selfish there. Arnaud Calimuendo.
04:29And now Presto have the chance on the break. Valde has got Ajorque in the middle.
04:35Valde might go all the way himself. Brice Samba with the save.
04:39Comes out to Magneti. Can't score another one, can he Magneti? No.
04:44Could Mama Valde have been a bit less selfish?
04:48Surely should have set up Ludovic Ajorque whose body language said it all.
04:53Ajorque had an open goal if Valde just squared it for him.
04:56To the left of Arnaud Calimuendo.
05:00Fofana starting those runs from deeper.
05:04Guiri the substitute. Guiri's shot deflected on its way through.
05:17Now then, Camara holds up the cross and the player arriving was Camari Dumbia.
05:23Player arriving was Camari Dumbia. It was just behind Ajorque.
05:28Nagida's ball into the box.
05:31Picked up by Fofana here.
05:37Cross from Fofana and a header from Ludovic Blas.
05:41Difficult to generate any power with a standing jump.
05:49As we see that replay.
05:54Barcola brushing the top of the net on its way over.
05:59A big transfer fee. Officially undisclosed.
06:04And that's Kelia. He's a left winger. That is Barcola's favoured position.
06:11Abdalacima into the box. Ajorque. Clinical.
06:16From Brest who are 2-0 up in the derby.
06:24Here last season by five goals to four.
06:28It's been a bit less dramatic tonight perhaps.
06:33But they've been so dangerous on the break. They've soaked up the pressure from Rennes.
06:38And it's the substitute Abdalacima played down the line by Zogbe.
06:42He knew where Ludovic Ajorque was and Ajorque with the neat finish.
06:46Biondri Samba into the corner.
06:49His seventh goal this season in all competitions.
06:53Six of them in Ligue 1. What a fight.
06:56Rennes are also just five points above the bottom two.
06:59Let's not forget Montpellier winning last night.
07:01Boosting their survival hopes.
07:04Amine Gouiri to Nagida.
07:07Cross blocked by Lalla.
07:10Gouiri out to Blas who finds the bottom corner.
07:14Lovely finish from Ludovic Blas.
07:17A fifth goal of the season for him.
07:20And Rennes are back in this game.
07:24It's caught out. Maddy Kamara.
07:27Amine Gouiri, the substitute, teeing up Blas.
07:31Lovely placed finish.
07:34Beyond the reach of Marco Bissot.
07:37Maybe there is still hope for Rennes.
07:40That they can salvage something from this game.
07:44Rennes push everybody forward in search of the equaliser.
07:48Amine Gouiri.
07:50All the way across the penalty box for Assignon.
07:53Blas again.
07:55Saved by Marco Bissot.
07:58Amine Gouiri.
08:10Saved from Bissot.
08:13To rescue a point tonight. Gouiri.
08:16Comes out to Wu.
08:21Fofana.
08:23Gouiri's shot.
08:24Held by Bissot.
08:25Tried to place it beyond.
08:27In the 96th minute.
08:29Helped on and surely.
08:32Christopher Wu.
08:34From point blank range.
08:35Heading it straight at Marco Bissot.
08:37That match.
08:39And it's just a second away win in Ligue 1 this season.
08:44Second away win in the season for Brest.
08:47And there's still some games left to be played.
08:49But they might be top ten.
08:51After today's game.
08:52While Rennes.
08:53Sinks itself more.
08:55And now we'll have to wait.
08:56To see if they're going to be in places.
