Brest had 27 shots. Toulouse had six, and two of them were goals. It finished 2-2 at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, and Brest needed the 95th minute to get there.
Jacen Russell-Rowe put Toulouse ahead at 9'. Kamory Doumbia levelled at 18'. Christ Tapé made it 2-1 at 62'. Ludovic Ajorque forced the second equaliser in the fifth minute of added time.
Toulouse scored with everything they had
Toulouse put two shots on target all evening and both beat the Brest goalkeeper. The visitors' goalkeeper, at the other end, made five saves and kept his side in front for as long as he could.
Brest's expected goals came to 2.73 against Toulouse's 1.11. They had seven corners to two and 51% of the ball, played their first home game of the season on the front foot from the first whistle, and were still one Ajorque touch away from losing it.

What's next
The Ligue 1 table still shows only the opening round plus Lille-PSG, so it has Brest provisionally seventh on a point and Toulouse 16th, in the relegation play-off place, still without one — both figures will change once matchday 2 is added. On 5 September Brest go to Le Havre; Toulouse host Lille the night before.
