Brest and Auxerre Back to Back

There was revenge in the air, in Francis-Le Blé, this Friday, for this reunion between Brest and Auxerre. Eric Roy had not forgotten that in the heart of the fall, AJA had relaunched against his team in a context of European week. And the ghosts of this Icaunaise evening began to resurface when the Burgundians struck in the quarter of an hour of play, Perrin exploiting a good work to fix Bair to deceive Bizot closely (0-1, 18th).

A first turning point before the minutes that followed, where the promoted could have and had to take shelter over a large period of floating Brestois, but neither Perrin nor Bair made the break on high recovery (20th , 21st). The rest of this first act was Brestoise, and Mama Baldé passed several chills in the spans of Francis-Le Blé, first on a gross simulation, then on a much more noble return, but refused for an outdoor toe game.

Perrin in all the right shots

The biggest reason for hope, for Brest, was finally to observe the last outings of his opponent. Because as against Strasbourg, Saint-Etienne, Monaco or Toulouse, AJA still had all the sorrows of the world to keep its advantage. And the salvation of the Bretons came from a stopped kick well exploited by Ndiaye at the time of play (1-1, 60).

This Auxerre team has marrow, we will not be able to remove it. And she also has some good ball handlers. After the release of his detonator Hamed Junior Traoré at halftime, Gaëtan Perrin, a decisive double passer last week, went there with his double clinical chain on a well-conducted against well (1-2, 74th).

It was without counting on yet another relaxation of the men of Christophe Pélissier. The precious Ajorque took advantage of a good job of Mama Baldé to equalize closely (2-2, 79th). The smell of chaos has accentuated and the lines have still stretched, but the score has no longer evolved. Auxerre continues an eleventh game without a victory but puts an end to his series of defeat outside and collects a good point in absolute terms. For Brest, who is always hungry from Europe, this will remain two lost points.
