The rest of the script was written by the collective and completed by two men who made up the top 3: Badredine Bouanani (2nd, 18% of votes) and Gaëtan Laborde (3rd, 4%). The former put in a good performance for his first start in L1 and was decisive in the 34' minute. He intercepted a back pass from Cabella, advanced with the ball, and put it on a plate for Laborde, who scored his 5th goal with the Gym and his 7th of the season.
**Walter Benitez, on January 9, 2022, made 9 saves in Brest.
