Danny Namaso ended a five-month goal drought as AJ Auxerre secured an emphatic 3-0 victory over Stade Brestois 29 in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The Cameroonian winger scored Auxerre’s third goal of the match, producing a curling effort that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance. His strike not only capped a convincing win for the home side but also marked a significant personal milestone after a prolonged period without scoring.
Namaso had not found the net since 19 October 2025, when he scored in a 2-2 draw against Stade Rennais. The intervening months saw him go 16 league matches without a goal, a run that stretched over five months and tested the player’s confidence.
His return to the scoresheet came in a match where Auxerre demonstrated resilience and control, even after being reduced to ten men. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the home side maintained their composure and continued to dictate the game, ultimately delivering one of their most assured performances of the campaign.
So far this season, Namaso has scored three goals in 23 Ligue 1 appearances. While that tally remains modest, the timing and manner of his latest goal could prove significant. Players often rely on such moments to rediscover form, and Auxerre will hope this marks the beginning of a more productive run.
