The Mastiffs knocked out the promoted Burgundian from the start by scoring two goals in the first three minutes by Benjamin André (1st) and Jonathan David (3rd).
The Canadian then offered a double (39th) to put his team away before halftime.
Then Akim Zedadka joined the party in the second half (64th), while Gaëtan Charbonnier saved the honor for the Icaunais (68th).
The Northerners, who finished in a disappointing 10th place last season, perfectly launched their reconquest operation with the supporters, who launched an +ola+ at the end of the first period, with a very attractive performance.
Very aggressive, they applied the precepts of their Portuguese coach by imposing enormous pressure on the Auxerrois and multiplied the combinations which put the opposing defense to the torture.
For AJA, the reunion with the L1 after ten years of absence was very complicated even if the end of the match was more encouraging for the players of Jean-Marc Furlan.
Lille opened the scoring after just 35 seconds after a superb action: Jonathan Bamba transmitted to Rémy Cabella, who served David, who followed closely for André, whose clear shot ended up in the back of the net with the help from the post (1-0, 1st).
Then Cabella, very leggy, served in the area David, who fixed Jubal before deceiving Benoît Costil with a curled shot (2-0, 3rd).
Losc continued their domination and logically widened the gap by their Canadian striker, who flat-footed a caviar from Cabella (3-0, 39th).
After the break, David could even have offered himself a hat-trick, but he came up against Costil (63rd).
But on the next action, Zedadka increased the score with a nice volley on receiving a cross from Bamba (4-0, 64th).
Charbonnier then reduced the score with a fine control-lobbed strike sequence (68th) and the Auxerrois took their heads out of the water a little in the last twenty minutes, like Gauthier Hein, without however managing to really worry serene Northerners.
