Auxerre 1–3 Angers

Angers arrived at the Abbé-Deschamps with something to prove after a defeat in their opening Ligue 1 fixture, and Branco Van den Boomen made the intention clear inside five minutes with the opening goal. Auxerre equalised through Remy Labeau Lascary before half-time to briefly steady a home side that has yet to pick up a single point from their first two league games, but Angers came out for the second half with a different gear entirely. Harouna Djibirin restored the lead in the 70th minute, and Amine El Ouazzani made it 3-1 eight minutes later to seal a commanding 3-1 away win that moves Angers to three points from their first two outings. Head-to-head history offered Auxerre little comfort either, with the sides split evenly across their last two meetings. It is El Ouazzani's finish in the 78th minute, curling the tie completely out of reach, that you will want to see for yourself.
