Monaco edges past ten-man Auxerre in a match defined by chaos and redemption
Must-Watch Futmetrix Score: 87/100. A six-pointer in all but name—Monaco advances its title credentials while Auxerre sinks deeper into relegation peril after a sending-off and a calamitous own goal at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps.
Minamino's early strike sets the tone
Takumi Minamino broke the deadlock at the 45-minute mark, giving Monaco the perfect platform to impose their dominance. With 67% possession and 13 shots, the visitors controlled the intensity from pillar to post, suffocating Auxerre's threadbare attacking ambitions. But the real inflection point arrived at the 68th minute: Josuée Casimir received a straight red for a needless foul, reducing the hosts to ten men and effectively closing the door on any comeback narrative.
Salisu's horror show and Ilenikhena's cruel finish
Five minutes later, the nightmare deepened: Mohamed Salisu deflected a clearance past his own goalkeeper, making it 2-0 and leaving balance a distant memory. Auxerre's stakes had become existential—but Gideon Mensah's outstanding defensive display kept them fighting. A VAR-overturned penalty at the 82nd minute offered a glimmer of hope. Yet at the 89th minute, substitute Georges Ilenikhena—on since the 78th—delivered the coup de grâce, assisted by Vanderson, sealing a 2-1 victory that felt far more comfortable than the scoreline suggested.
Title contenders and relegation fighters drift further apart
Aladji Bamba's orchestration in midfield epitomised Monaco's composure under pressure. With 9 points from 4 matches, the Principality club consolidates third place and edges closer to the summit. Auxerre, conversely, remains marooned at 15th with just 3 points—a grim return that transforms the relegation battle into a chasm. Despite registering 9 shots, they lacked the cutting edge to trouble Monaco's defence when it mattered.
Key Questions
How did Casimir's red card reshape the match?
Reduced to ten men at the 68th, Auxerre surrendered all attacking threat. Monaco capitalised ruthlessly, scoring twice in the next 21 minutes.
Did VAR's penalty cancellation change the outcome?
The overturned penalty at 82 minutes gave Auxerre a lifeline, but Ilenikhena's 89th-minute strike extinguished any hope of a miraculous draw.
What does this loss mean for Auxerre's campaign?
With only 3 points from 4 matches, Auxerre enters genuine relegation battle territory. The margin for error has vanished.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Survival Mode at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps
Skip It Futmetrix Score: 37/100. A clinical Monaco side is likely to deepen Auxerre’s misery in a match where technical quality meets survival desperation.
The Setup
On September 13, 2025, Auxerre finds itself in the midst of a grueling relegation battle. Sitting 18th in the table with just 9 points, the hosts are desperate to snap a dismal run of Form (DDLLL). Conversely, Monaco arrives at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps positioned 7th, boasting high-caliber Stars capable of dismantling lower-table defenses. While the Balance of the squad favors the visitors, the sheer Stakes of avoiding the drop could ignite a spirited response from the home side.
Key Battle
With no specific individual stars listed for the hosts, the primary tactical conflict will pit Auxerre’s collective defensive unit against Monaco’s creative engine. The home backline must find a way to neutralize Maghnes Akliouche and D. Zakaria, who excel at picking locks in tight spaces. Monaco will also look to M. Biereth to exploit any gaps left by an Auxerre side forced to chase the game.
Our Prediction
Monaco is expected to dictate play through superior possession, eventually wearing down a fragile Auxerre defense. Akliouche's movement between the lines should prove too much for the hosts to handle. We anticipate a controlled performance from the visitors, resulting in a 0-2 away win that leaves Auxerre rooted in the bottom three.
