Nigerian defender Gabriel Osho endured a difficult afternoon, receiving a red card in Auxerre’s 2-0 defeat to Angers at the Stade Raymond Kopa on Sunday.
Auxerre, desperate for a win after a six-game winless streak across all competitions, including a shock loss to Ligue 2 side Dunkerque, faced a confident Angers side riding a four-game winning streak.

The match began poorly for Auxerre, with Sinaly Diomande scoring an own goal in the 18th minute. The situation worsened just minutes later when Osho was shown a straight red card.
Despite playing with ten men, Auxerre showed resilience and pushed for an equalizer. However, Angers capitalized on their numerical advantage, doubling their lead shortly after halftime through Esteban Lepaul.
The defeat extends Auxerre’s winless run to seven games in all competitions and leaves them precariously close to the relegation zone, just five points above the drop. They now face a crucial home league match against Saint-Etienne, who drew 1-1 with Nantes in their own Ligue 1 fixture on Sunday.Sources and related content
