Ghanaian internationals Elisha Owusu and Gideon Mensah celebrated a historic triumph as their team, Auxerre, clinched the French Ligue 2 title with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Amiens SC.
This result, secured on Friday evening, guaranteed Auxerre’s promotion to the prestigious French Ligue 1 for the upcoming season.
Mensah, a stalwart defender, played a crucial role, entering the fray in the second half and contributing to Auxerre’s solid defensive display. He made 25 appearances and provided two assists this campaign.
Meanwhile, Owusu, though sidelined due to a minor injury, has been instrumental throughout the season, amassing 32 appearances and contributing a goal and two assists from midfield.
The achievement marks a remarkable comeback for Auxerre, who bounced back from relegation the previous season.
Their journey ends in a final showdown against Concarneau at the Stade de l’Abbé Deschamps on May 17th, where they will look to cap off their extraordinary campaign with another victory.
