Paris FC won 1–0 at Auxerre on Saturday, 7 November, with Lassine Sinayoko scoring against his former club to secure provisional second place in Ligue 1. The visitors’ official matchday report puts the striker on nine goals from ten rounds after he redirected Pablo Pagis’ attempt into the net.

The first half ended goalless after Cameron Archer had an effort disallowed for handball in the build-up. Paris FC became more threatening after the interval: Pagis tested Paul Nardi and another attempt reached the post before his involvement in the only goal. According to the visiting club, Sinayoko did not celebrate against his former side.

Le Parisien’s report dated 7 November confirms a narrow away victory in a tense match, while the round’s results record independently lists Paris FC’s 1–0 success at the Abbé-Deschamps. Protecting the goal was part of the outcome: Kevin Trapp denied Archer late on to prevent Auxerre equalising.

Second place must be read as provisional before Sunday’s remaining fixtures, as Paris FC explicitly noted, rather than a completed-round ranking. The certain gain was three away points alongside Sinayoko’s continuing contribution in front of goal. The club schedules Angers next after the international break. Paris FC leave this encounter with a clean sheet and the full benefit of the striker’s return to his former ground.
