Le Mans and Stade Brestois drew 2-2 in Ligue 1 after a lively exchange of goals. Romain Del Castillo put Brest ahead on 31 minutes, but Le Mans responded through Dame Gueye just before half-time and then Louis Mafouta to lead. Kamory Doumbia's equaliser on 62 minutes made the final score 2-2.
Brest struck first when Del Castillo converted from Doumbia's pass, and Gueye equalised on the stroke of half-time. Mafouta put the hosts ahead on 55 minutes from Bourabaa's assist, but Doumbia's unassisted strike on 62 minutes secured the draw. Ludovic Ajorque and Alexandre Lauray were shown yellow cards.
The numbers show Brest's dominance without a winning reward. They took 26 shots to Le Mans' eight, had an expected-goals figure of 2.29 to 0.69, and forced four saves from the home goalkeeper, yet still conceded twice from the hosts' five shots on target. Possession was evenly split at 50-50.
