Stade Briochin and Stade Brestois 29 met in a Club Friendly on August 5th, and the visitors took all three points with a 2:1 victory. K. Kenneh gave the home side the lead before R. Del Castillo and M. Balde turned it around for Brestois 29.
And here's the thing about that opening goal — Kenneh found the net in the ninth minute, and by then the match had already found its rhythm. Briochin pressed forward, looking to build on the advantage.
Del Castillo equalised in the eighteenth, then Balde restored Brestois 29's lead just twelve minutes later. The visitors carved them open with their attacks, and 89 compared to 61 told you where the pressure sat.
Then came the chaos at forty-one. Both teams saw a man sent off — Balde among them — and the game shifted on its axis. To be fair, the red cards levelled things, but the momentum had already swung.
L. Ajorque came on in the sixty-eighth as both sides adjusted to playing with ten men. Possession sat at 0.5 apiece, and the statistics showed neither side could quite dominate the other.
Brestois 29's win adds weight to their recent form, which has included a 3:3 draw with Guingamp just four days earlier. For Briochin, the result follows a mixed run that stretches back to a heavy 0:7 defeat to PSG.
