Lees-Melou, boss and masterful
The 30-year-old, playing alongside Hugo Magnetti in midfield for the Brest team, was essential both in the construction of the game and in the offensive actions.
He won 8 of his 12 duels, completed 34 of his 40 passes and recovered 13 balls during the 90 minutes of play. His performance was marked by a goal in the 89th minute, concluding a series of offensive actions, where he found Ruben Blanco's small bridge, which had been efficient until then.
Lilian Brassier carried the Brest defense
The Brest central defender, back after his suspension for a gross foul on Kylian Mbappé which earned him a yellow card on February 7, delivered a remarkable performance this Sunday during the closing match of the 22nd day of Ligue 1, at the alongside Brendan Chardonnet, also solid despite a yellow card received in the 35th minute.
He managed to neutralize Faris Moumbagna and Ismaïla Sarr, preventing them from achieving the slightest shot on target during the meeting.
Ruben Blanco, very close to being the man of the match
He excelled for 88 minutes... until Pierre Lees-Melou opened the scoring in the final moments of the match.
Marseille's replacement goalkeeper, who took the place of the injured Pau Lopez, made four saves, including two superb saves in the 5th and 42nd minutes of play. He lacked Marseille's solutions to make dangerous restarts.

Flops
Steve Mounié, a crack that could have been expensive
The Brest striker, who distinguished himself with eight balls hit in the Marseille area before his exit, the best score among Brest players this Sunday, had a difficult time at the start of the second half.
Frustrated by Leonardo Balerdi's marking, the Beninese player gave him a violent, unnecessary elbow in the stomach, causing the Italian to fall.
Rudy Buquet reacted firmly, giving him an immediate red card and thus reducing his team to 10. Finally, the 29-year-old striker can thank his teammates for their excellent end to the match.
Ismaïla Sarr did not provoke anything
The Senegalese winger, preferred to Luis Henrique on the right side of the Marseille attack, missed his match.
Well taken by the young Bradley Locko (21 years old) on the right side, the former Watford and Stade Rennais did not shoot once in 61 minutes of play. He also lost eight balls and did not win only four of his seven duels.
Replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang just after the hour mark.
Amine Harit did not have the flame
Yet so enterprising at the heart of the game when he is on his feet, Amine Harit produced a very poor performance against Stade Brestois.
He only won 45% of his duels (5/11), lost eleven balls and missed three of his five attempted dribbles.
He is replaced by Luis Henrique, who also contributed very little, in the 76th minute.
