The last day of the first leg of Ligue 1 was marked Wednesday evening by Kamory Doumbia’s incredible quadruplet with Brest against Lorient (4-0). Here are five things to know about the Breton attacking midfielder.
Reims stadium
Kamory Doumbia’s journey builds respect. Born in 2003 in Mali, the midfielder was trained in his native country at the JMG Academy. He joined France and the Stade de Reims reserve team in 2021. The player, who is on loan this season in Finistère, still belongs to the Champagne club, with whom he played his first professional match two years ago in the French Cup. It was in May 2022, against AS Saint-Étienne, that the Malian stood out by scoring his first goal in Ligue 1 at the age of 19 with the Rouge et Blanc.
La CAN 2024
Kamory Doumbia is one of three players from Stade Brestois who received a pre-call-up to participate in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (January 13-February 11). And this is not surprising. At only 20 years old, the Breton player is essential with Mali. Doumbia has scored 4 goals in his last 6 matches this season with the Eagles, which makes him the top scorer for the selection since the start of the season. You will have understood, the native of Bamako has a very good chance of playing the CAN with his country in the coming weeks, his main objective this year.
Spinning top”
During the presentation of Kamory Doumbia in September upon his arrival in Brest, the coach of the Finistère club Eric Roy revealed the nickname of the young Malian: “In a three-midfield system, he can play both positions in front of the sentry, or in a double pivot, be the player who plays above. He can go hunting on the opposing sentry, he can exert pressure on the opponent because he has legs of fire. Its nickname is the Spinning Top, so that means it goes in all directions. We will need him this season. A nickname that fits perfectly with the 1m70 midfielder.

Ronaldinho
During an interview given to World Eleven , Kamory Doumbia revealed that he had Ronaldinho as his idol. The Malian midfielder is inspired by the Brazilian legend who notably played for PSG and FC Barcelona. “When I watch it, I definitely enjoy it”.
Edinson Cavani
Wednesday evening, Kamory Doumbia made Ligue 1 history. Scorer of 4 goals against Lorient, the Breton became the 2nd player in the history of Ligue 1 to score a quadruple in one half (22nd , 25th, 29th, 45th+3), after Edinson Cavani with PSG in September 2016 in Caen. Replaced in the 66th minute of play, the Malian received a standing ovation from the Francis-Le Blé crowd for his historic performance. Thanks to the latter, Stade Brestois finished the first phase of the championship in 4th place. The surprise team at the start of the season.
