Rodez Aveyron FC emerged victorious against Grenoble Foot with a commanding 3-1 scoreline, courtesy of an impressive performance by Beninese international Andreas Hountondji, who netted twice during the match.
The clash between Rodez and Grenoble showcased the intensity and competitiveness synonymous with French football, with both teams vying for crucial points in the league standings.
However, it was Rodez who ultimately seized control of the game, thanks in large part to the standout display from Hountondji.
At just 21 years old, Hountondji continued to showcase his talent and goal-scoring prowess, making a significant impact on the match.
Positioned on the right flank of the attack, the dynamic striker demonstrated his clinical finishing ability by finding the back of the net twice, in the 54th and 61st minutes respectively.
Hountondji’s brace not only propelled Rodez to victory but also underscored his importance to the team’s success this season.
With these two crucial goals, he now boasts an impressive tally of 12 goals in the league, along with two assists, from 26 appearances.
The victory against Grenoble sees Rodez Aveyron Football Club ascend to 5th place in the league standings, a position that puts them in contention for a coveted spot in the promotion play-offs to Ligue 1 Uber Eats.
With just nine matches remaining in the season, Rodez will be looking to maintain their momentum and secure vital points in the upcoming fixtures.
Looking ahead, Rodez will face a stern test against Troyes at the Aube Stadium following the international break.
As they continue their pursuit of promotion, Hountondji’s stellar performance serves as a source of inspiration for the team and reinforces their determination to achieve success in Ligue 2.
