Match Overview

AJ Auxerre began their pre-season preparations with a dominant 5–2 victory over lower-league side St. Maur Lusi at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps. The Ligue 2 outfit used the match to test squad depth and fitness, and their attacking intent was rewarded with a flurry of goals.

First Half: Auxerre Cruise

Auxerre took control early. In the 12th minute, striker Gaëtan Charbonnier latched onto a through ball and finished with a low shot. Midfielder Lassine Sinayoko doubled the lead in the 27th minute with a curling effort from 18 yards. St. Maur Lusi pulled one back against the run of play when forward Kévin Ndiaye capitalised on a defensive mix-up, but Auxerre restored their two-goal advantage just before half-time through a powerful header from defender Jubal Júnior.

Second Half: More Goals and a Brief Fightback

The second half saw more goals. Auxerre's substitute Hamza Sakhi made it 4–1 with a penalty after a handball, but St. Maur Lusi again reduced the deficit when midfielder Jérémy Aholou scored a long-range stunner. However, Auxerre had the last word: winger Kylian Leautey finished off a swift counter-attack in the 79th minute to make it 5–2.

Key Performers

• Gaëtan Charbonnier (Auxerre) – Opened the scoring and led the line well.
• Lassine Sinayoko (Auxerre) – Dangerous from midfield, scored a fine goal.
• Kévin Ndiaye (St. Maur Lusi) – Caused problems for Auxerre's defence with his pace.

Pre-Season Assessment

Auxerre's attacking fluidity was encouraging, but defensive lapses against a lower-tier side will need to be addressed before the Ligue 2 season begins. St. Maur Lusi, from the Championnat National 2, showed spirit and scored two well-taken goals.
