Geubbels and Marchetti Strike: Paris FC Steals Victory at Brest

Sehenswert Futmetrix-Wertung: 62/100. At Stade Francis-Le Blé, Paris FC claimed a crucial 2-1 win through ruthless efficiency and defensive resilience, leaving Brest to rue a penalty-kick lifeline squandered.

Early Blitz Sets the Tone

Paris FC struck with intensity that caught Brest flat-footed. W. Geubbels opened the scoring in the 14th minute from M. Lopez's assist, then doubled his involvement as playmaker when V. Marchetti made it 2-0 in the 34th minute. Two strikes in twenty minutes established the balance of power: Paris controlled the narrative while Brest chased shadows.

Brest's Siege Comes Up Short

The home side poured forward with relentless intensity—23 shots to Paris's seven—but precision evaporated in the final third. R. Del Castillo converted a 52nd-minute penalty to give Brest hope, yet Obed Nkambadio's six saves and the imperious defending of Samir Sophian Chergui and Moustapha Mbow proved the difference. Only eight Breton efforts found the target—a damning statistic that exposed their lack of cutting edge despite dominating possession (54% to 46%).

Red Card Ends the Drama

The turning point arrived at the 84th minute when Otávio was sent off for a professional foul, a last-man challenge that killed Brest's momentum stone dead. With ten men, Paris weathered the final assault. Brest's attacking siege had been valiant but sterile—a story of dominance undone by clinical finishing from their opponents and their own wastefulness.
