Lyon stayed third with 60 points and lead fourth-placedParis Saint-Germainby two points with two matches left, but PSG have a game in hand atGirondins Bordeauxon Wednesday.

In Ligue 1, the third-placed team is awarded a Champions League qualifying third round spot, while the top two sides automatically qualify for the group stage of Europe’s elite club competition.

Following a 4-0 thrashing at AJ Auxerre last week, Claude Puel’s side played solidly but Mario Licka’s superb strike in the second half cancelled out Ederson’s first-half opener.

Kim Kallstrom then blew a clear chance to double the visitors’ tally. The Sweden midfielder benefited from a bad clearance by the Brest defence, but his low shot shaved the post as the hosts struggled to approach Hugo Lloris’s goal.
