What a performance from AJA!
The Auxerrois overthrew this Friday evening a Lyon team, still deprived of Laurent Blanc on the bench but in great shape (two consecutive successes).
Trailing by one goal, Auxerre overthrew Lyon in two minutes thanks to goals from Perrin and Jubal.
The former Ligue 2 resident last season gives himself some air in the standings but remains in the red zone.

The first half will have been relatively poor.
A first header from Diomandé (17') could have hit the target if Radu had not intervened.
Abline, on loan from Rennes, was also dangerous without hitting the goal.
It is even Lyon who will pass in front 10 minutes from the end of the first period thanks to a header from the returning Moussa Dembélé (36th) on a delicious cross from Corentin Tolisso.
At that time, the men of Laurent Blanc and Frank Passi mastered the debates and will not be worried until the whistle of the referee Mikaël Lesage.
Dembélé had however opened the scoring against Auxerre.

In the second period, everything will accelerate.
Auxerre will go on the attack and, in two minutes, will completely reverse the scenario of the meeting.
Massengo will provoke the Lyon defenders and will erase Diomandé with a hook.
The latter leaves his foot dragged and mows down the Auxerre midfielder, Mikaël Lesage orders the penalty.
Gaëtan Perrin transforms it and allows his people to return to equality.
This goal will have allowed AJA to remobilize, the Auxerre attack forms and obtains a corner.
Da Costa deflects the ball with a header and Diomandé misses his mark, leaving Jubal alone who drives the point home.
The Lyonnais are then KO standing.
The entries of Dembélé and Hein will have brought a little more speed and danger while the Lyonnais were apathetic at the end of the match.
