Brest opened scoring five minutes into the second half through Samuel Grandsir.

And in the 63rd minute, Gaetan Charbonnier made it 2-0 to guarantee Brest’s passage into the quarter-final.

And in another League Cup game on Wednesday, Moses Simon was in action for Nantes who fell 1-0 at home to Strasbourg.

In Tuesday’s League Cup game, Victor Osimhen scored for Lille in their comfortable 3-0 away win against AS Monaco.

However, Osimhen was forced off after feeling unwell and was replaced by Loic Remy.
