Three second half goals propelled AJ Auxerre to their third consecutive win, the latest against Toulouse, and extend their unbeaten streak to an impressive 11 games. The win keeps Auxerre (66pts) safely in second place in Ligue 1, but a win by first place Marseille over Saint Etienne leave them 5 points up on AJA with 4 games to play.
Despite being statistically outplayed by Toulouse, AJA needed only 5 shots on frame to score its three goals and walk away with the victory. Benoit Pedretti opened the scoring 2 minutes into the second half and AJA leading scorer Ireneusz Jelen added twice to his total with goals in the 68th and 79th minutes.AJA’s chase of the elusive French title (only 2 teams have won over the last 8 seasons) will most likely come down to the next two games. They travel to Marseille on Friday for a chance to trim the lead to two points. 5 days later, AJA will face 5th place and defending League Champion Lyon.
