"The hosts set the tone early. After an ambitious long-range effort from Kamory Doumbia tested Geronimo Rulli, Brest took the lead in the 10th minute. Ludovic Ajorque rose between defenders to head into the top left corner, giving the home side an early advantage. Marseille struggled to respond for most of the night, Mason Greenwood firing over from distance and seeing another effort blocked."
"Ajorque was the key to Brest's threat. He went close again on the break before doubling the lead on 29 minutes. Hugo Magnetti's delivery from a set piece found the striker in space, and his header into the bottom corner made it 2-0. Marseille pushed forward before the interval, Greenwood drawing a sharp save from Coudert and Nayef Aguerd missing from a corner."
Habib Beye's first match in charge of Marseille ended in a 2-0 defeat away to Brest. Ludovic Ajorque opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a header into the top left corner after Brest seized early momentum. Ajorque doubled the lead in the 29th minute from Hugo Magnetti's set-piece delivery, heading into the bottom corner. Marseille dominated possession at times but created few clear chances; Mason Greenwood fired over and later won a penalty. Greenwood's spot-kick was saved by Coudert, preserving the two-goal deficit. Marseille's attackers, including Amine Gouiri and Benjamin Pavard, failed to convert late opportunities.
