Aubagne vs Le Puy Foot Match Recap - Nov 7, 2025

Le Puy Foot Stuns Aubagne with a 4-1 Victory, Shaking Up National 1 Standings

Le Puy Foot delivered a stunning performance at the Stade de Lattre de Tassigny, dismantling Aubagne 4-1 in a match that showcased their attacking prowess and left the home side reeling. This decisive victory marks a significant turnaround for Le Puy, who had struggled to find form in recent weeks, while Aubagne's hopes of climbing the table took a serious hit.

Rodrigues opened the scoring early, converting a penalty in the 7th minute after a foul in the box. His confidence surged as he doubled the lead just 12 minutes later, finding the net again in the 19th minute. Gromat added to the misery for Aubagne with a third goal in the 24th minute, leaving the home side stunned and searching for answers. The early onslaught from Le Puy Foot was relentless, and it seemed as if they were determined to capitalize on their recent momentum.

Aubagne managed to respond with a goal from Hamek in the 27th minute, briefly igniting hopes of a comeback. However, that flicker of optimism was quickly extinguished as Le Puy Foot maintained control of the match. The visitors' defense held firm against any further threats, showcasing resilience that had been lacking in previous outings.

The first half ended with Le Puy leading 3-1, but they were not done yet. Just before halftime, Nsingi converted another penalty for Le Puy in the 44th minute, extending their lead to three goals. This was a crushing blow for Aubagne, who had hoped to regroup during the break. Instead, they faced an uphill battle that only grew steeper.

The second half saw Aubagne struggle to find their rhythm. Despite having moments of possession, they failed to create significant chances against a well-organized Le Puy defense. The visitors continued to press forward, looking for more goals to further demoralize their opponents.

Aubagne's frustrations boiled over late in the match when an unidentified player received a red card in stoppage time, sealing their fate and underscoring a day to forget for the home side. The defeat leaves them in sixth place with 17 points, while Le Puy Foot climbs to thirteenth with 11 points, breathing new life into their season.

Reflecting on recent form, this match was a stark contrast for both teams. Aubagne had entered this fixture with a solid record, including a convincing 3-0 win against Chateauroux just last week. Their previous five matches had shown promise, but today's performance revealed cracks that Le Puy exploited ruthlessly.

On the other hand, Le Puy Foot had been searching for consistency after a mixed bag of results. Their recent draw against Concarneau and a prior win against Villefranche hinted at potential but lacked follow-through until now. Today's victory could be the catalyst they needed to turn their season around.

As I predicted in my pre-match preview, Aubagne's home advantage and recent form suggested they would emerge victorious. Turns out, I underestimated Le Puy's ability to rise to the occasion when it mattered most. This result not only shifts the dynamics within the league but also raises questions about Aubagne's ability to maintain their position among the contenders.

Looking ahead, Aubagne will need to regroup quickly as they face Orleans next on November 21. Meanwhile, Le Puy Foot will host Quevilly, aiming to build on this momentum and continue their climb up the standings. Today's match was more than just three points; it was a statement from Le Puy Foot that they are ready to fight back in National 1.
