Ligue 1: OM sinks in Brest, nightmare debut for Habib Beye

The Olympique de Marseille suffered a 2-0 defeat at Brest in the opening match of the 21st round of Ligue 1, marking a challenging debut for new coach Habib Beye.

In a disappointing start to Habib Beye's tenure as head coach, Olympique de Marseille fell to a 2-0 defeat against Stade Brestois on Friday night. This match marked the 21st round of Ligue 1 and showcased the ongoing struggles of the Marseille team, which has now gone four games without a victory, deepening their crisis in this season of French football.

From the beginning of the match, Marseille displayed signs of weakness, with Ludovic Ajorque scoring the first goal just ten minutes in by taking advantage of lapses in the Marseille defense. The second goal followed soon after, further highlighting the defensive frailties of the team and leaving them unable to mount any significant challenge against a well-organized Brest side.

This defeat raises questions about the team's direction under Beye, who has stepped into a challenging situation following a series of poor results. The loss at Brest not only affects Marseille's position in the league but compounds the pressure on Beye to quickly turn the team's fortunes around in an increasingly competitive Ligue 1.
