The French Ligue 1 season has kicked off with a draw between Lyon and Brest on Saturday evening. The match was a lacklustre affair as both teams failed to create any clear-cut opportunities for the entire duration of the game.

Despite the low-scoring nature of the match, it marked the start of what is expected to be a slow and inconsistent campaign for both Lyon and Brest. Both sides have struggled to find their feet in recent seasons, with Lyon finishing last in the league table last year and Brest managing just three wins all season.

The draw between the two sides means that they will now have to wait until next weekend before facing each other again, which could prove to be a costly setback for both clubs. It's clear that there are still many issues to address if either team hopes to compete at the top level this season.

In terms of individual performances, neither side had much to celebrate. Lyon's attacking play was lacklustre throughout the match, with only one shot on target in the first half. Brest, on the other hand, were unable to convert their few chances into goals, with their best effort coming from substitute striker Alexandre Lacazette, who saw his penalty saved by Lyon goalkeeper Romain Comolli.

Overall, it's clear that the new season is not off to a promising start for Lyon and Brest. While the draw may have been a result of poor execution rather than a reflection of the quality of the opposition, it's unlikely to bode well for either side in the coming weeks. As the season progresses, it remains to be seen whether either team can turn things around and establish themselves among the leading contenders for the title.
