Brest v Sturm Graz
Brest enjoy dream European debut with UCL win over Sturm Graz
Brest celebrated winning their first ever match in a European competition on Thursday after goals from Hugo Magnetti and Abdallah Sima secured a 2-1 victory over Sturm Graz in the Champions League.
Magnetti scored Brest's maiden European goal in the 23rd minute, expertly controlling the ball on his chest before volleying into the bottom corner to break the deadlock.
However, Sturm Graz equalised just before halftime when Brest midfielder Edimilson Fernandes inadvertently sent the ball into his own net.
Brest adopted a more aggressive approach following the interval and they were rewarded when Sima restored the French side's advantage by skilfully evading his marker and scoring with his left foot in the 56th minute.
As the match neared its end, Sturm Graz were reduced to 10 men when Dimitri Lavalee received his second booking after a tackle on Magnetti.
