"Brest made a bright start, with Ajorque getting in front of his marker to glance Hugo Magnetti's flick on past a helpless Geronimo Rulli in the 10th minute. Daouda Guindo and Greenwood saw chances go begging at either end before Ajorque rose highest to meet Magentti's wonderful curling delivery and thump his header in off the left post in the 29th minute."
"Marseille improved after the break, with Quinten Timber forcing Gregoire Coudert into a low stop before they were given a golden opportunity from the spot in the 82nd minute. Guindo clumsily caught Greenwood from behind in the box, but having won the penalty, the forward struck his spot-kick to Coudert's right, and it was a good height for the goalkeeper to push away and protect his clean sheet."
"Marseille have not won any of their last four Ligue 1 matches (D2 L2), with this their longest winless streak in the top-flight since March-April 2024. They have had particular problems on the road, as of late, conceding 12 goals in their last four such matches in all competitions, more than in their previous 10 (10 goals conceded). In 2026, Marseille have the worst defence away from home in Ligue 1, with 11 goals conceded."
Ludovic Ajorque scored both goals as Brest defeated Marseille 2-0. Ajorque opened the scoring in the 10th minute by glancing Hugo Magnetti's flick past Geronimo Rulli. He doubled the lead in the 29th minute with a header from Magnetti's curling delivery and struck the crossbar later while seeking a hat-trick. Marseille improved after halftime and forced saves from Gregoire Coudert, earning a penalty in the 82nd minute when Daouda Guindo fouled Mason Greenwood. Greenwood's spot-kick was saved by Coudert, preserving his clean sheet. Marseille have gone four Ligue 1 matches without a win and continue to struggle defensively away from home.
