**Brest's Le Douaron Scores 8 Goals to Lead Them to Safe Relegation Avoidance in Ligue 1**
In a thrilling match at the Stade Jean-Baptiste Gérard on Sunday, Brest's Le Douaron secured a crucial victory over Nice, securing their spot in the top four and avoiding relegation from Ligue 1.
The hosts, who had been trailing 2-1 at half-time, came out firing in the second half. The attacking prowess of the team was evident as they scored eight goals within the final 45 minutes, putting them in control of the game.
Goalkeeper Maxime Huet made some key saves to keep Nice in the contest, but his team simply could not find the back of the net. With just 15 minutes left, the score remained 2-1 in favor of Nice, but Le Douaron's relentless attack paid off with a stunning strike from midfielder Thomas Boulaye that put them ahead for good.
As the clock ticked down, Le Douaron continued to dominate, with forward Yannick Camara scoring another goal and goalkeeper Huet making two more impressive saves to deny Nice any further attempts.
The result leaves Brest in fifth place in Ligue 1, with 79 points, one point behind leaders Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain. They will face Monaco in the last round of matches next weekend, which will be crucial for their chances of staying up.
Le Douaron manager Guillaume Dufour expressed satisfaction with the performance, saying: "We deserved this win. Our team showed great resilience and determination throughout the match. We knew it would be tough against Nice, but we fought hard and came through."
The victory also lifts the spirits of the club's supporters, who have been under pressure since losing their previous match against Marseille. This win gives them hope of securing a playoff spot and continuing their strong season.
As the teams prepare for their final league fixtures, Brest's Le Douaron remain confident in their ability to avoid relegation and secure a place in the Champions League.
