Ismael Traore scored the only goal that gave Angers a 1-0 away win at Dijon in their Ligue 1 opener on Saturday.
Traore notched the first goal in the 2020-21 French top-flight campaign in the 23rd minute after pouncing on Sadia Thioub's rebound.
The Ivory Coast international also put in a solid defensive performance alongside his compatriots Souleyman Doumbia and Abdoulaye Bamba as Angers kept a clean sheet on the road.
Traore and Senegalese attacker Thioub were in action for the entire duration while Algeria's Farid El Melali, Mali's Lassana Coulibaly were introduced in the second half.
