PAU and Sochaux shared a 1-1 draw at Nouste Camp on Friday evening in the fifth round of Ligue 2 fixtures, with PAU having led 1-0 at the interval.

Goal details were not made available for this fixture, so the identity of the scorers cannot be confirmed. The scoreline shows that PAU held a one-goal advantage at half-time, and the match finished level at one goal apiece.

The result leaves PAU in 11th place in the 18-team Ligue 2 table, with five points from five matches. Their record reads one win, two draws and two losses, with four goals scored and five conceded. Their recent sequence of results stands at drawn, drawn, lost, won, lost.

Sochaux sit two places above PAU in ninth, a single point better off on six. They have won one, drawn three and lost one of their opening five matches, scoring two goals and conceding four. Their last five results read drawn, drawn, won, drawn, lost. Both sides are mid-table after five rounds of the regular season.

The draw means each club takes a point from this fixture, with just one point separating them in the table. PAU have now drawn two of their five league outings this term, while Sochaux's three draws from five matches make them one of the more frequently level sides in the division at this early stage. The one-point gap between the two clubs reflects how closely matched they are in the standings at this point in the campaign.
