AJ Auxerre vs Stade Brestois 29
Match Report
Auxerre pulled off a gutsy comeback at the Abbé-Deschamps, overturning an early deficit to beat Brest 2-1 in matchday 5 of Ligue 1. The moment of the match belonged to Brest, though: Pathé Mboup's stunning first-time volley, cushioned on his thigh before being lashed home left-footed, was a real contender for goal of the season.
Mboup's strike in the 23rd minute had the visitors dreaming, but Cameron Archer leveled things right after the break, finding the net just a minute into the second half. The decisive moment came late, in the 83rd minute, when Romain Faivre — netting his first Ligue 1 goal of the campaign — forced a Brest defender into turning the ball into his own net. Yellow cards were shown to Kenny Lala and Christ Makosso as tempers frayed toward the finish.
For Auxerre, it's back-to-back wins that lift them out of the relegation zone and up to ninth. Brest, meanwhile, stay stuck on five points and will need to regroup quickly.
