Jan 28th features a match where Nantes hosts Brest in a Coupe de France match.

Tiago Djaló scored the first goal for Brest on an own goal in the 3rd minute, then Steve Mounié added another in the 5th minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a penalty kick In the end, Lille was frustrated by Brest’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Brest ended the match with the shutout victory. Brest should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
