Strasbourg steamroll Auxerre in dominant display

Five goals and a penalty see Strasbourg dismantle Auxerre at home.

Strasbourg put on a commanding show with a 5-1 victory over Auxerre, overturning Fipster's medium-confidence prediction of an away win. Dário Essugo opened the scoring just before half-time, and Strasbourg continued to pile on the pressure after the break with goals from M. Godo and a penalty by C. Harder. Although Auxerre's C. Archer pulled one back, Gessime Yassine sealed the emphatic win with a brace late in the second half.
