The match kicked off with both teams testing the waters. Brest looked more threatening in the early stages, but Juventus gradually found their footing.

Notable early chances included a 28-meter strike from Weah, saved by the Brest goalkeeper, and a close-range header from Vlahovic that went wide.

Despite a goalless first half, the game came to life in the second period. Brest opened the scoring in the 50th minute through Camara, who capitalized on a defensive error.
