Brest have secured their place in the Coupe de France semi-finals after defeating Clermont 1-0 at the Stade des Sports de Lorient on Saturday evening.
The match saw Brest take control early on and were rewarded with a well-deserved lead when midfielder Guillaume Le Douaron scored his first goal for the club since joining from Montpellier earlier this season.
The win means that Brest now progress to the last four of the competition, where they will face either Lyon or Nice, who are currently leading the standings in Group A of the French league.
Le Douaron's strike was a testament to the quality of play that Brest showed throughout the game, with the team showing great determination and composure in front of goal.
For Clermont, it was a tough day as they failed to capitalise on their chances and were unable to find the back of the net.
Despite the defeat, there were some positives to take away from the match for the visitors, with goalkeeper Cyril Madige performing admirably between the sticks and creating several opportunities for himself and his teammates.
In conclusion, Brest's victory over Clermont is a significant achievement for the team and sets them up nicely for the semi-final stages of the Coupe de France. It will be interesting to see how they fare against either Lyon or Nice in the next round, but one thing is certain - Brest have shown that they can compete at the highest level and are certainly not to be underestimated.
