Le Mans FC secures 2-2 draw against Brest in Ligue 1 return
Le Mans FC secured a 2-2 draw against Stade Brestois in their first Ligue 1 match following a 16-year absence from the top flight. The match, held at Stade Marie-Marvingt before 19,801 spectators, saw Le Mans fight back after conceding an early goal to Romain Del Castillo.
Senegalese striker Dame Gueye, who recently chose to remain with the club despite interest from teams in Cyprus and Greece, scored his first goal in the elite division in the 45+2 minute. Louis Mafouta later gave Le Mans the lead in the 55th minute, though Doumbia eventually equalized for Brest.
Gueye enters the season as a key figure for the club, having been Le Mans' top scorer in both Ligue 3 and Ligue 2 in recent seasons.
