Relive Auxerre’s success at home against a stunned Brest

Thank you for your loyalty and see you soon on LeFigaro.fr

After 4 consecutive defeats, AJ Auxerre had a great success at home against Brest 3-0.

Baldé very close to the goal at the start of the season. A center to the line from Salah which ends on Mama Baldé who tries the scissors. Scissor from the left which hits the square of Donovan Léon’s cage.

The referee announces five minutes of added time.

Jonas Martin finds Kenny Lala completely alone in the area, the former Strasbourg player’s head ends up in the gloves of Donovan Léon.

Launched on the left side, Théo Bair outwits two Brest defenders before hitting hard, Bizot was vigilant and takes the ball out for a corner. Corner which will not take place, the Canadian striker was offside.

End of match without stakes for resigned Brestois who still remain vigilant behind.

Jubal is exhausted, scoring from the penalty spot for his team’s second goal, the AJA captain remains on the ground and will be replaced by Pellenard.

We didn’t see it coming, Traoré tries a direct corner deflected by Bizot who is successful.

Without any problem Kamory Doumbia eliminates his opponent in one on one, his shot is well captured by Donovan Léon.

Ibrahim Salah, the former Rennes player, has just joined in place of Romain Del Castillo.

Auxerre very close to the fourth. On a free kick in the area, Auxerre found Osho who saw his shot pushed back by the crossbar.

Another header duel won for Brest, this time it’s Mama Baldé who manages to get her header on from a corner but it goes just above Donovan Léon’s cages.

Having just entered the game, Mensah made a superb faultless defensive intervention.

Mensah comes into play in place of Akpa.

Magnetti and Doumbia enter in place of Fernandes and Faivre.

Magnificent Traoré allows Auxerre to lead 3-0 and secure its second victory in the championship. Well served at the penalty spot, with superb control he outwits Chardonnet to find himself alone and adjust Bizot.

On a good counter, Traoré left alone on his right side, after dribbling and a big bridge, he was finally stopped by a rigorous Coulibaly.

Big mistake from the former Lyon player on Sima who had passed.

Heavy rain disrupts the players. In the air, the ball is difficult to distinguish, on the ground the supports are more complicated. This start of the second period is well marked by the rain.

New opportunity for AJA concluded with a countered strike from Traoré which ended in the gloves of Bizot.

Aggressive and forward-leaning, Christophe Pelissier’s players seem to have returned from the locker room with the same intentions as in the first period.

Auxerre kicks off this second half in front of their home crowd.

Half-time at Abbé-Deschamps, a logical score given the domination of Auxerre. Brest is not there and must wake up after returning from the locker room.

The referee announces two minutes of added time.

Auxerre is unleashed in front and continues the actions, on a cross Onaiwu sees his header captured by Bizot.

Well found in the area, Sinayoko has fun with the defenders who cannot catch him, but the Malian international completely misses his shot which seemed to be a dodgy shot.

It was perfectly shot by captain Jubal to the left of the goalkeeper close to the post, Bizot had started on the other side.

Hand from Fernandes in the Brest area after a penalty recovery from Sinayoko for Auxerre which captain Jubal will take.

Hoever puts it back in line, Sinayoko lets it slip between his legs to allow the launched Akpa to strike. But the shot from the unscrewed Dutchman goes well above the goals.

Another free kick very well struck by Kenny Lala and another dangerous header from Brest. This time it is signed by Coulibaly and it brushes Donovan Léon’s right post.

Thanks to Sinayoko who protects his ball well, Elisha Owusu finds himself alone against Marco Bizot. The Ghanaian midfielder hits hard in the center to deceive the Brest goalkeeper and open the score.

After a little festival from Traoré full axis, Hoever is on the fall of a ball fleeing outside the area, he attempts a cross shot which is repelled with his head by the defense.

For several minutes, the two teams have been chaining sequences together but without ever concluding one… the fault of too many technical inaccuracies in the last passes.

Clément Akpa is penalized for another delayed foul on Romain Del Castillo, the first card of the match.

Free kick for Brest very well taken by Kenny Lala who managed to find Ludovic Ajorque. The former Strasbourg player sees his header well captured by Donovan Léon. First shot on target of the match.

Another attempt from Auxerre which dominates this start of the meeting. Clément Akpa was found on his left side and succeeded in his cross. Cross taken in the air by Kévin Danois but his header lacks power and precision.

Interesting action for AJA who had scored a nice free kick. Hamed Junior Traoré chose to attempt it directly, his shot went well above Marco Bizot’s goals.

Magnificent cross from Osho for Hoever who went deep on the right side, but the piston loaned by Wolves does not manage to find Onaiwu on his center which is taken by Bizot himself.

In a dangerous space, Akpa loses the ball to Camara, the AJA piston makes a mistake to stop the action, an interesting free kick to follow for Stade Brestois.

Another good run from the locals, this time on the left, Akpa was still looking for Sinayoko but Chardonnet came back strong and grabbed the ball.

The locals circulate the ball from right to left, if Hoever, well served, looked for Sinayoko at the entrance to the area, the Finistère defense defended well.

Brest kicks off this 6th day of Ligue 1 at Abbé-Deschamps.

Following his expulsion during the match against Toulouse last Sunday, Eric Roy was suspended for three matches by the LFP commission. He watches this meeting from the stands.

Happy European with its success at home against Sturm Graz for the first match in its history in the Champions League, Eric Roy’s Stade Brestois is on cloud nine this year. Despite a sluggish start to the season, the Finisterians enjoyed a great home success against Toulouse on the last day (2-0). Enough to reassure themselves in Ligue 1 and launch their championship, against Auxerre, Brest wants to continue its good momentum before the return of the C1.

The situation is starting to worry for the AJA. Recently promoted and Ligue 2 champion, Christophe Pelissier’s men are now in the lead with three small points taken on the first day against Nice. Since then, four consecutive defeats and above all a heavy total of 11 goals conceded. The defeat in Montpellier (a direct competitor) on the last day sounded an emergency gong. We will have to react before the break before letting the good car slip away.

Eric Roy prefers Ludovic Ajorque established at the forefront of the attack in place of Mama Baldé.
