AJ Auxerre's Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps erupted in celebration as the team clinched a pivotal 2-0 victory over Paris FC, sealing their promotion to the French Ligue 1 with two games remaining.

With a comfortable six-point lead over AS Saint-Étienne and SCO Angers, and an impressive +33 goal difference, players, staff, and fans reveled in the joyous atmosphere.

Gideon Mensah and Elisha Owusu played crucial roles in Auxerre's swift return to Ligue 1 after last season's relegation.

Mensah, primarily deployed as a left fullback or wingback, showcased his prowess in 24 league appearances, contributing two assists. Meanwhile, Owusu made his mark in 32 league fixtures, notching a goal and two assists.

Manager Christophe Pelissier, mindful of the challenges ahead in Ligue 1, emphasized the need for strategic planning post-match.

"In Ligue 1, with just 18 teams, it will be tough. We can’t lose sight of our objective," Pelissier remarked, highlighting the club's need for careful strategizing.

Both Mensah and Owusu are contracted with Auxerre until 2025, signifying their crucial roles in the club's future plans. Discussions regarding contract extensions are anticipated, underlining their significance to Auxerre's future endeavors.
