Sparta v Brest
UCL surprise package Brest beat Sparta Prague
Brest secured a 2-1 victory at Sparta Prague in their Champions League clash on Wednesday, with a first-half goal from Edimilson Fernandes and a late own goal from Sparta in the second half sealing the win for the French side.
Fernandes fired Brest ahead in the 37th minute after a corner was headed to him, sending a shot as he slipped on the rain-soaked grass.
Ten minutes before full-time, Brest effectively ended the match with an own goal from Sparta's Kaan Kairinen, who got the final touch in a scramble on the goal line before Victor Olatunji reduced the deficit deep into stoppage time.
Brest are now in a good position to go through to the next round, well placed in the top section of the table while Sparta are just outside the play-off area with four points.
