Although fly-half Yuri Kushnarev gave a promising start to RC Enisei with a penalty in the first minute, flanker Mikheil Gachechiladze was sin-binned few minutes later allowing Brive wing Benito Masilevu to cross over in the 14th minute with Thomas Laranjeira adding the conversion.

The momentum was carry forwarded by Johan Snyman who strolled past the post in the 20th minute and nine minutes later RC Enisei were put in further trouble with the sin-bin of full back Ramil Gaisin.

Once again Brive capitalised on RC Enisei being one man down as number eight Sisa Koyamaibole touched the line in 30th minute and Laranjeira got his third conversion right.

There was some respite for RC Enisei heading into half time as Brive lock Wilhelm Steenkamp was yellow-carded and Kushnarev added a penalty but the visitors trailed by 15 points by the end of the first half.

The third sin-bin for RC Enisei came in the 49th minute with lock Viacheslav Krasylnyk with the infringement following which Brive wing Taku Ngwenya scored two tries sandwiched between Shamil Magomendov's cross over for the visitors.

Even though Magomendov scored his second try in the final minute, RC Enisei lost the game by 20 points with their reckless play having a major role in it.
