Brassier scores winner for Brest as they edge Rennes to secure European football

Stade Brestois 29 secured UEFA European football next season by beating Rennes in a nine-goal thriller, ending a 10-match winless head-to-head run spanning 37 years in the process. At such a crucial point in the season, it was no surprise to see both sides, who are aiming for UEFA European football next season, come out fighting in another brilliant chapter of the Breton Derby. After some silky build-up play, the hosts struck the first blow in the fourth minute when Arnaud Kalimuendo's fired in clinically from inside the penalty area. Perhaps boosted by goals in consecutive league games, Kalimuendo then sniffed out his second just five minutes later, by slotting home after Marco Bizot's questionable save.
