Father Christmas is Maxence Caqueret
He is undoubtedly the man of the evening.
Maxence Caqueret was involved in all three of his side's goals in the first half, with one goal, one assist and one penalty kick-in.
The midfielder was first to the finish on a very good service from Lacazette (21st, 0-1) for his first goal in Ligue 1. The Lyonnais then turned into a passer for Cherki when his team needed it the most (32nd, 1-2).
Finally, it was he who obtained the break penalty converted by Lacazette, when his volley was deflected by the hand of Chardonnet (35th, 1-3).
Also very valuable in recovery, Caqueret will finally be replaced in the 81st minute.
Six minutes of madness
We witnessed a great meeting from start to finish, but we also and above all witnessed six moving minutes.
The locals reacted very quickly to Lyon's opener thanks to a deflected free kick from Pereira Lage (29th, 1-1).
At this time, the Brestois are in a strong moment, and it is difficult to predict what will happen.
Especially not this goal from Cherki in the 32nd minute, then this penalty from Lacazette in the 35th minute.
Three goals in six minutes, but which mainly hurt the locals.
Damien Da Silva, the new Roberto Carlos
Of course not.
But the performance of Damien Da Silva is to be highlighted.
In a Lyon defense decimated by injuries, the professional central slipped for a match in the left lane.
And very intelligently, Da Silva did not add any.
He was content to do simple things, in a position that is not his, but still fair.
The defender even proved to be life-saving on a few interventions, like his tackle on the strike from Honorat (68th, 1-4).
Del Castillo as a maestro
His team lost, but Romain Del Castillo made a good copy.
The Brest striker was dangerous throughout the meeting, always very clean technically.
The player, trained in Lyon, certainly wanted to shine against his former club.
He will logically be rewarded with a decisive pass for Mounie following a very well struck corner (72nd, 2-4).
Del Castillo had a good game despite the defeat of his team.

FLOPS
Mahdi Camara did not shine in the middle
Difficult to "shoot" on a single player, but it is clear that Mahdi Camara was no match for the middle.
Not necessarily exceeded in the duels, it was above all his technical contribution that was lacking, especially compared to the performance of Caqueret.
Warned in the 38th minute, the former Stéphanois gave up his place in the 67th minute.
Power 4 for Brest
Brest conceded four goals tonight.
The worst part is that the Bretons did not have a bad game, far from it.
But in the end, Bruno Grougi's men took four.
With 32 goals conceded, Brest is the third worst defense in the championship this season.
Only Auxerre (34 goals conceded, 18th) and Angers (35 goals conceded, 20th) have conceded more goals.
The lack of Breton realism
It fished defensively, but also offensively.
Several times, especially in the second half (53rd, 61st, 68th) the locals had the opportunity to reduce the mark, and why not even come back to score.
Only Mounie found the fault on a corner in the 72nd minute (2-4).
A great performance from Brest, marred by their inefficiency in both areas.
