# Relegation Prospects Improve for Brest as They Beat Nantes in Ligue 1, Maintaining Their Chances

In a crucial match for their Ligue 1 survival hopes, Brest managed to secure a vital 2-1 victory over Nantes on Sunday. This win not only boosts their confidence but also strengthens their chances of avoiding relegation, as they now sit comfortably mid-table.

The match was a tense affair, with both teams creating chances. Brest took the lead in the 15th minute through a well-taken goal by Terem Moffi, who capitalized on a defensive error. Nantes responded well, and it was Hugo Leroy who brought the visitors level just before half-time with a clinical finish.

The second half saw Brest regain control. A clever through ball from Alexander Meyer set up Kevin Vey, who slotted home to give Brest a 2-1 lead. Despite Nantes' relentless pressure, Brest's defense held firm, keeping them in the game.

This victory is a significant boost for Brest, who were struggling earlier in the season. With this win, they have climbed to 11th place in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone. Their next two matches, against Montpellier and Marseille, will be crucial as they aim to build momentum for the rest of the season.

Manager Alexander Telle has praised his team's resilience, saying, "We’ve been through a lot this season, but this win shows we can compete with the best teams. We just need to keep working hard and maintain this form."

Brest's improved form will give them confidence heading into the final third of the season. While they remain risky for relegation, their recent performances suggest they can pull off a remarkable escape. For now, Brest fans can feel a bit more optimistic about their side's chances.
