AJA signed the performance of the afternoon in Ligue 1 by dominating Reims (2-1) as part of the 8th day of Ligue 1. Nantes-Nice and TFC-Angers ended with parity scores .

At home, AJ Auxerre is almost intractable this season in the league. With the exception of Monaco, the visitors left Abbé-Deschamps with zero points. Reims this Sunday like Nice and Brest previously.

While the Champenois had the opportunity to temporarily invite themselves onto the elite podium, the Burgundians were able to rule the roost thanks to Diomandé (16e) and Traoré (52e) – Jubal even allowing himself to miss a penalty (36e). Nakamura having saved the honor of Rémois in added time (90e+5).

TFC in danger

Building on this 2-1 success, AJA climbs into 12e
position, three lengths ahead of a red zone in which Angers remains entangled after its draw in Toulouse (1-1) – King (64e) having been able to respond to Niane’s opening score for the SCO (5e), when Abdelli missed the mark on a penalty (58e).

With only six units on the clock, two more than its opponent of the day, the TFC remains in danger, in 15e
position. Nantes and Nice have a little more margin in the first part of the table but cannot be satisfied with the result of the day at Beaujoire: 1-1, goals from Abline (67e) and Guessand (72e). This sharing of points leaves them four points behind the top European places.
