Revealed late, Téji Savanier is having a blast this year in Montpellier.
Since the departure of Andy Delort and Gaëtan Laborde this summer, it is he who has taken control of the Montpellier game.
The captain once again made his technique speak this afternoon.
He served on a plateau Elye Wahi on the first goal with a magnificent brushed cross.
On the third goal, he recovers a very high ball before delivering a candy from the outside of the left foot, his bad foot, to Valère Germain, who then shifts Sambia.
Beyond his involvement on goals, he feasted for 95 minutes and he missed only one goal, which he could have scored (81st) to complete his performance.
The realism of Montpellier
Four shots on target, four goals.
This is the impressive ratio displayed by Olivier Dall'Oglio's players this afternoon.
Without being sparkling, the Héraultais scored four goals for the most fit team in Ligue 1. Thanks to Savanier in particular, they were able to put themselves in an ideal position to deceive Bizot, the Brest goalkeeper.
Mavididi's strike is crystal clear, while Germain's cross shot, who hasn't scored since September, is clinical.
A great operation to fill up with confidence and which allows Montpellier to virtually point to fourth place in the championship.
FLOPS
A very dull first period
If the second spoiled us with three goals and many chances, the first period was of rare technical poverty.
Apart from Wahi's goal, after one minute of added time, and a shot from Mavididi who had failed on the bar, the game had crashed in the middle.
Montpellier kept the ball without being able to find his attackers while Brest, who proceeded against, missed too many easy things to really worry Omlin.
The mute Brest attack
This is a first this season: Brest did not score in Ligue 1. The Bretons were the last to have scored at least one goal in their first 17 league games.
The series therefore ends today, just like the club's record-breaking six-game winning streak.
Beyond the lack of goal, the Brest offensives were not up to the task, with too many inaccuracies.
Evidenced by the unusual waste of Franck Honorat or Romain Faivre, who missed centers and transmissions widely within their reach.
