Auxerre has one last step to climb

Patience, mastery, certainty. Three words which characterize rather well the success obtained by AJ Auxerre on the Dunkirk pitch (3-1) this Monday. At Marcel-Tribut, it took time for the Burgundians to finally find the net. An hour of play, to be precise, which however was not enough to make Christophe Pélissier’s men doubt. Once the loophole was found, their grip tightened considerably, allowing them to gain the advantage and then definitively seal their success. At the end of the match, the words of the scorer and passer of the evening, Lassine Sinayoko, were quite evocative: “We wanted to show our supporters and the whole of Ligue 2 that we were on the way to the title”. Message well received by the championship and by AJA followers, since three days from the end and at the time of welcoming Paris FC, an Auxerre victory combined with a draw or a defeat for Angers would formalize the comeback direct from the current leader. But before that, we will have to remain serious and focused until the end, because the opponent this Saturday (3 p.m.) has every intention of spoiling the party at Abbé-Deschamps. Paris FC (5th) is also having a good end to the season and will be looking for a good result to consolidate their fifth place or even take fourth. Regardless, the Icaunais have their destiny in their hands and seem more than ever on their way to a new accession to the elite, just one year after leaving it.

After Angers, Paris FC wants to continue

If Auxerre showed maturity to overthrow the USLD at the start of the week, Paris FC also showed a very convincing face in their shock of the 35th day against Angers (3-1). Joined by a fair goal from Capelle before the break, the Ile-de-France residents were able to remain solid during the second act before striking hard thanks to a cross from Gaudin misjudged by Valéry, then a classy effort from Kebbal . In addition to the three points pocketed, they sent a real message to their competitors in the top 5 by maintaining the pace and offering themselves a SCO team contender for direct promotion. They showed that they had the ingredients to bring down the cream of this championship, a few days away from finding a team that has been in the lead for several months already. For the PFC, there is no longer really room for calculation anyway. With Laval (6th), Pau (7th) and Caen (8th) remaining in ambush at only three and four points, Stéphane Gilli’s men have no choice but to win in their last three meetings to avoid not take the risk of seeing their pursuers catch up again. Starting with this Saturday, and a major challenge on the leader’s lawn.
