The first multiplex of the season smiled at the Angers SCO, a female of the Parisian promoted. Strasbourg and Auxerre also obtained precious victories.
Welcome to Ligue 1 expensive promoted … Back in the elite, Paris FC pushed but finally bowed this Sunday on the lawn of SCO d’Angers (1-0), reduced to ten in the second period. FC Lorient, champion of Ligue 2 last season, was beaten in Auxerre on the same score despite a penalty missed by the Burgundians. Long awaited for its heavy investments made this summer, the Racing Club of Strasbourg, for its part, torn off the victory on the field of FC Metz (0-1) thanks to a late goal from its Argentine recruit Joaquín Panichelli (86th).
Impassable, Donovan Leon offers victory to Auxerre
On paper, it was not the meeting that made you dream during this multiplex. However, it is indeed the most lively meeting. While AJA has established itself on the smallest of the margins (1-0), the players of Christophe Pélissier relied on a Donovan Léon, author of a performance more than reference. The AJA goalkeeper has demonstrated all his talent to keep his invited cage and afford three important points for the rest of the championship. However, some points still remain to work. An effect, if Lorient has not found the net, it is the Merlus who dominated part of the meeting with several missed occasions in the first half (21st, 32nd, 35th). Despite a penalty failed by Casimir, Auxerre ended up winning thanks to a huge Leon in the goals. Auxerre was then saved by a goal from Sinayoko in the 53rd minute.

Reduced to 10, Angers takes over in Paris FC
In a hanging match, the SCO got back to its Esteban Lepaul nugget to win. Author of a nice goal in the 9th minute on a very well felt deep pass, the young player starts his season very well and allows Angers to take precious points despite a complicated end of the meeting. Indeed, the Angevin Louis Mouton received a red card for an uncontrolled gesture. An indiscipline which could therefore have cost his team very dearly which evolved at 10 against 11 for 30 minutes (58th).
Strasbourg is doing in front of Metz in the derby
It was a fairly soporific match in which Strasbourg ended up making the difference in the second period. In the hard time, the Alsace club was able to count on its new Panichelli recruit to offer him the victory of the head (85th). A match in which everything was not perfect, which ended up turning in favor of Strasbourg. It must be said that Metz did not show much throughout the meeting. It is not “the expected-goals” at 0.38 in the first period that will tell you the opposite.
The results of the multiplex of this Sunday:
- Angers-Paris FC 1-0
- METZ-STRASBOURG 0-1
- Auxerre-Lorient 1-0
