Brest Edge Out Le Havre 2-1 in Ligue 1 Clash
Brest secured a hard-fought 2-1 away victory over Le Havre at the Stade CMA CGM Océane on September 5, 2026, in a Ligue 1 Round 3 encounter. Kamory Doumbia proved to be the match-winner for the visitors, scoring twice — once from the penalty spot in the 12th minute and again just after the hour mark. Despite playing the majority of the second half with ten men after Junior Mwanga was sent off in first-half stoppage time, Le Havre fought back valiantly and managed to halve the deficit through Rayan Fofana's 79th-minute penalty. However, Brest's early lead proved insurmountable as they claimed all three points under clear skies in Le Havre.
