Brest responded with aggression but mainly through bookings rather than clear-cut chances, as Daouda Guindo and Romain Del Castillo both saw yellow before half-time. At the break, Nantes made a change, with Coquelin withdrawn and Louis Leroux coming on.

The match turned on 65 minutes when Dehmaine Assoumani was shown a straight red card, leaving Nantes down to ten men. Tensions boiled over further just four minutes later as Vahid Halilhodžić also received a red card for the hosts. Brest coach Eric Roy reacted with attacking substitutions, introducing Hamidou Makalou and Kenny Lala on 67 minutes, before Pathé Mboup entered the fray later.

Nantes looked to manage the lead, replacing goalscorer Mohamed with Matthis Abline in the 77th minute and making a late switch as Mathieu Acapandié came on for Ignatius Ganago in added time. But Brest’s pressure finally told in the 90th minute plus five. Captain Brendan Chardonnet struck the equaliser, turning in a delivery from Romain Del Castillo to make it 1–1 and snatch a point for the visitors.

Anthony Lopes was booked late on for Nantes as the hosts clung on for the draw. Beyond the goals, cards and substitutions provided in the data, detailed match statistics and further events were not available.
