After the defeat at Saint-Etienne (3-1), the AJ Auxerre players had to return by bus. Blame it on a plane breakdown.
The chalice down to the dregs. Already stunned by the defeat at Saint-Etienne, the Auxerre then had bad luck when returning home. While they were initially supposed to return by air from Bouthéon airport, located a few minutes from the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, the players ultimately had to take the bus.
The fault is a breakdown. Because two planes had been chartered by the Icaunese delegation for this meeting. The leaders left with their machine. But according to the club, the players’ plane had a problem. A mechanic was called to help, but taking time to arrive, the team decided to take the option of returning by bus.

As a result, Christophe Pélissier’s men arrived in Auxerre at three in the morning. Enough to prolong the Saint-Etienne ordeal.
