Auxerre gets 2nd win over the French league season by beating Brest 3-0
AUXERRE, France (AP) — Auxerre beat Brest 3-0 on Friday to grab its second win of the French league season and put the brakes on the visitor’s recent run of form.
Brest was coming off two consecutive victories, including a 2-1 win over Sturm Graz in its first ever Champions League match.
But under the pouring rain in central France, Auxerre finally showed some of the form that won it promotion last year and staved off a fifth straight defeat in Ligue 1.
Elisha Owusu put the home side ahead with a left-foot shot after 26 minutes and captain Jubal doubled the lead from the penalty spot 11 minutes later. Hamed Junior Traorè, on loan from Bournemouth, then got his second goal in two games 14 minutes into the second half.
The result leaves both teams with six points from six matches.
