Angers left Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps with all three points on Saturday, 29 August 2026, winning 1-3 despite Auxerre dominating large spells of the game. The home side actually had the better of things on paper, racking up more possession and more shots overall, but couldn't turn that pressure into enough on the scoreboard. It was 1-1 at the break after both sides traded blows early on, and Auxerre will feel they had chances to push on given they matched Angers shot for shot on target, seven to six. Angers found a way through when it mattered, though, and their away form now looks in decent shape after this one. Amine El Ouazzani was at the heart of it, picking up the man of the match award with a rating of 8.7 and looking the sharpest player on the pitch for long stretches. Angers also edged the corner count 10-7, a small sign of the extra threat they carried at set pieces. For Auxerre, plenty of possession and pressure but not enough end product - a frustrating night on home soil.
The Matchup
Auxerre 1-3 Angers was the final score at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps, in a game where Angers did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 60% in favour of Auxerre, Angers made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 19 attempts from Auxerre against 15 from Angers over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Angers, and Auxerre pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood. Games like this can carry real weight later in the season, so this is a scoreline worth remembering. Below is a closer look at how the match broke down, statistically.
