PARIS (AP)—Alain Traore scored twice in Auxerre’s 4-1 rout of Ajaccio and its first victory of the season in the French league on Saturday.

Kamel Chafni converted a rebound to put Auxerre ahead in the 34th minute.

Traore then fired a free kick into the top corner in the 75th to double the lead before notching his fifth goal this season to make it 3-0 in the 80th.

Brazilian forward Araujo Ilan pulled one back for Ajaccio in the 83rd.

Anthony Le Tallec ended the scoring with a header in the 90th.

Also, it was: Evian 0, Dijon 1; Lorient 2, Nancy 1; Nice 0, Brest 0; Valenciennes 1, Bordeaux 2.

Lossemy Karaboue won the ball in midfield to feed Nancy forward Djamel Bakar, who scored with a curling shot in the 10th. But midfielder Arnold Mvuemba curled home a free kick in the 78th to equalize for Lorient.

Bordeaux coach Francis Gillot made two moves in the second half that paid off for the 2009 champion.

Valenciennes midfielder Mathieu Dossevi outpaced the Bordeaux defense to collect a throughball from Gael Danic and beat goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso in the 27th.

Mali midfielder Abdou Traore replaced Nicolas Maurice-Belay in the 75th and converted a rebound to level for Bordeaux in the 80th after Valenciennes goalkeeper Nicolas Penneteau parried a shot from Yoan Gouffran.

Bordeaux forward Anthony Modeste came off the bench in the 63rd and scored the winning goal from close range in the second minute of injury time.
