Outside, AJ Auxerre led to the score, by 1 goal to 0, launched in the second half their new recruit. Expelled from the 56th, M'Baye Niang will have just had time to elbow Mamadou Sakho in the face. Severe punishment, for an involuntary bad gesture, but which rebalanced the match. Indeed, on the side of Montpellier, Khalil Fayad had been expelled for a tackle too strong.
As a symbol, Nuno Da Costa equalized in the 70th minute. Mathias Autret scored, in turn in the 75th, his penalty after a fault by the same Mamadou Sakho, shaken by M'Baye Niang earlier.
The expulsion counter did not stop there, as Nuno Da Costa also left the field late in the game, at the 88th. Accompanied, a few minutes later, by Teji Savanier in added time.
Electric atmosphere, in a match that ends nine against nine. So if M'Baye Niang will not have allayed the fears of AJ Auxerre supporters, he will have made a memorable entry. No doubt also, participated in the victory in his own way.
