Match Report
Auxerre delivered a commanding home performance at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps, beating Angers 3-1 on matchday 32 of Ligue 1, with a brace from Sékou Mara the highlight of the afternoon.
Mara struck early in the 12th minute to set the tone, but the real turning point came just before half-time when Amine Sbaï was shown a second yellow for dissent and dismissed. Angers earned a VAR-awarded penalty early in the second half, but Branco van den Boomen's spot-kick was saved by Théo De Percin. Mara doubled up in the 61st minute and Lassine Sinayoko added a third six minutes later. Goduine Koyalipou pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 77th to make it 3-1.
The result keeps Auxerre in strong form heading into the final weeks of the season, while Angers — 13th with a six-point cushion above the relegation playoff spot and two games to go — now face a pivotal home clash against Strasbourg.
