Auxerre 2-1 Brest: comeback completed by a late own goal

Auxerre turn a deficit into a win

Auxerre conceded first but levelled shortly after the restart, then won it through an own goal. The result lifted them from 16th to 9th in Ligue 1.

Brest were far below their usual output

Brest managed just eight shots, well short of their four-match season average of 22. Cameron Archer's equaliser in the 47th minute was worth +0.9 FN xPts, and the winner in the 83rd minute came from Raphaël Le Guen's own goal. One of Auxerre's two goals was therefore a Brest error.

Kévin Danois 7.8Strong

Kévin Danois won his midfield duels consistently and also supplied three key passes. That balance kept Auxerre steady while they turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

23' Pathé Mboup Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Joris Chotard +0.3 +0.9
47' Cameron Archer Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Danny Namaso +0.3 +0.9

Auxerre Expected (last two seasons) 1.8Own moments +0.9Opponent moments +0.8Time effect −0.5→ League points won 3
Stade Brestois 29 Expected (last two seasons) 0.9Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −1.1Time effect +0.2→ League points won 0

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
