Notes:
  1. ^ Counting for the Round 8 of Ligue 1, and initially concluded on 21 September 2002 with the same score of 3-1 (goals, in that order, from Kapo, N'Diefi and doubled by Benjani), the match was canceled following a technical reservation filed by Sedan after the second Auxerre goal: this goal had indeed been scored immediately after the Sedan equalizer, but the Sedan players had not all returned to their camp at kick-off. The match was finally replayed on 8 April 2003 (two months after the "return" match, played on 5 February 2003) with a similar result (goals, in that order, from Benjani, N'Diefi, Benjani and Cissé).
