O Auxerre teve a bola, mas o Le Mans abriu o placar no começo da segunda etapa; o empate em 1 a 1 saiu 11 minutos depois, no domingo (25) e no estádio Abbé-Deschamps, pela oitava rodada do Campeonato Francês.
A equipe de Still, no 3-4-2-1, mandou no jogo: 60% de posse, 12 finalizações a 11 e sete escanteios contra um. Ainda assim, o primeiro tempo terminou 0 a 0, com amarelos para Alexandre Lauray e Lucas Buades (Le Mans, de Videira no 3-5-2) e para William Still.
Aos três da etapa final, Lucas Buades completou o passe de Lucas Bretelle. O VAR revisou o lance e validou o gol visitante. A resposta saiu aos 11, quando Cameron Archer deixou tudo igual para o Auxerre.
Depois disso, o jogo ficou pegado: Kevin Danois levou amarelo aos 24 e os técnicos mexeram nos times, sem mexer no placar.
O Auxerre fica com 10 pontos, em 12º, com três vitórias, um empate e uma derrota nos últimos cinco jogos. O Le Mans tem sete pontos, é o 15º, com uma vitória, dois empates e duas derrotas.
Na próxima rodada, o Le Mans visita o Troyes no sábado (31); o Auxerre vai ao Strasbourg no domingo (1).
