Jordan Ayew, known for his confidence on the field, found himself in the spotlight again last weekend, but for the wrong reasons. After scoring his first goal for Sochaux as a substitute, Ayew’s actions took a negative turn in the match against Monaco.
With Sochaux leading 2-0, Ayew’s reckless challenge on Andrea Raggi resulted in a red card, reducing his team to ten men. This decision proved costly for Sochaux, as they eventually lost 1-2 to Monaco. Ayew’s coach, Hervé Renard, did not mince his words after the match, expressing disappointment in Ayew’s actions and emphasizing the negative impact it had on the team’s performance.
The loss further deepened Sochaux’s struggles in Ligue 1, leaving them in 19th place with 22 points. With relegation looming, Ayew’s disciplinary issues only add to the challenges facing the team as they fight to avoid demotion to Ligue 2.
