Match in Five Sentences: Brest beat Auxerre 2-0 at Stade Francis-Le Blé. Ludovic Ajorque put the hosts ahead in the 33rd minute from the centre of the box after Rémy Labeau Lascary's pass. After the restart, Joris Chotard sealed it with a composed finish (79.), set up by Ajorque. Auxerre mustered just one shot on target from 10 attempts as Brest controlled the key moments despite near-even possession. The win keeps Brest 11th in Ligue 1 and they visit Lyon next, while Auxerre drop from 16th to 17th and travel to Lens.
Player of the Match: Ludovic Ajorque led the line superbly, opening the scoring, assisting the second and winning five aerial duels while registering two shots on target.
Stat of the Match: Auxerre produced only one shot on target from 10 attempts, underlining their lack of cutting edge.
Three Things We Learned: Auxerre's cutting edge was lacking, with only one shot on target from 10 attempts. Brest's crossing was unusually efficient at 45.0% from 20 deliveries, helping sustain pressure. Brest stay 11th, while Auxerre fall from 16th to 17th in the table.
