In the
first game of the last qualification stage to the
Champions League, the
AJ Auxerre lost 0:1. The third of the
Ligue 1 in the last season didn't find a successfull way against
Zénith Saint-Pétersbourg, even because of the fast goal by Kerzhakov in the third minute.
But the result offers chances for AJ Auxerre to qualify for the Champions League. The team around of
Ireneusz Jelen showed that it can make problems for every team. At the weekend the Bourguignons reached a draw (1:1) against Valenciennes, so that was the third draw in the third match in the national championship.
