Nice come from behind to beat Brest 2-1 in Ligue 1 clash

Brest hosted Nice at the Stade Francis-Le Blé on a partly cloudy evening in Brest, with the temperature around 10 degrees, for their Ligue 1 Round 8 fixture, refereed by Guillaume Paradis. Brest, set up in a 4-2-3-1 by Julien Lachuer, struck first through Ludovic Ajorque and carried a narrow lead into the interval, while Olivier Pantaloni's Nice lined up in a 3-4-2-1 and grew into the contest after the break. Elye Wahi leveled for the visitors just past the hour, and substitute Sofiane Diop turned the match around with the winning goal in the 83rd minute. Brest pushed for an equaliser and were handed a late penalty in stoppage time, but Kenny Lala failed to convert, allowing Nice to hold on for all three points.
