Auxerre secured victory in the fifth round of the 2026/2027 Ligue 1 season with a 2-1 win over Stade Brestois 29. The result gives the Burgundy club a positive start to the campaign and lifts them to tenth place in the standings.
The match, played on September 20, saw Jean-Marc Furlan's side triumph thanks to a goal from Cameron Archer and an own goal from Raphaël Le Guen. Pathé Mboup had opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half. This win takes Auxerre's record to two victories and three defeats from the opening five league fixtures. The club has thus accumulated 6 points, a total that allows them to position themselves solidly in mid-table.
Scorer Cameron Archer, netting his second goal of the season, confirms his status as the club's top marksman. The English striker had also secured the win against Nice the previous week. He scored his decisive goal against Brest in the 68th minute of play. The squad must now prepare for a difficult away trip to face Rennes, who sit fifth, on October 11.
With six points on the board, Auxerre enter the international break in a solid mid-table position. The team's recent form shows two consecutive wins after a run of three losses. The continued absences of Assane Dioussé and Telli Siwe will need to be managed as the campaign progresses.
