With a double by Ibrahima Kone, Lorient defeated Brest 2-1 in the 34th round of Ligue 1.
Brest is still threatened with relegation, as they lost at the Moustoir stadium.
Eric Roy's team is three points behind Nantes, who is currently in the relegation zone. Two goals by Malian player Ibrahima Kone secured the victory for Lorient and complicated the situation for Brest, who managed to reduce the gap with a penalty converted by Romain del Castilleo but it was not enough for their aspirations.
