Unseen hero keeps Auxerre level against Strasbourg

Donovan Leon set the tone in the third minute with a sharp save, and his assured handling earned Auxerre a 0-0 draw with Strasbourg.

Soon after, he blocked Benjamin Chilwell from close range (10.).

After the restart, Leon parried Julio Enciso's drive from outside the area (68.). He then denied Sebastian Nanasi from the left side of the box (70.). Moments later, he saved Valentín Barco's effort from a similar angle (70.).

He finished with five saves, four from inside the box, plus one punch and eight recoveries, as Le Racing tested him five times on target.

With Strasbourg seeing 72.5% possession, Leon's positioning and handling under pressure allowed Auxerre to absorb long spells without giving up clear chances.

Auxerre visit Marseille next. Le Racing travel to Rijeka in the UEFA Conference League before hosting Paris FC in Ligue 1.
