Tension to the end. The Abbé-Deschamps stadium vibrated as rarely, Friday, May 20, in the evening for his family. In the end, the whole enclosure exploded when the last penalty, scored by Birama Touré, gave the Auxerrois victory against Sochaux (0-0, 5 tab to 4).
With this life-saving success, obtained at the end of its strength and the cramps of almost all the players, AJA validates its status as a Ligue 2 barrage, and will face Saint-Etienne or Metz (or Bordeaux in the event of a huge coup de theater) for accession to Ligue 1 in a round-trip play-off (May 26 and 29).
