Van den Boomen, who joined Angers on a free transfer from Ajax, ended his long wait for a league goal with a stunning strike in the away match against AJ Auxerre. The midfielder's last Eredivisie goal was over a thousand days ago, with his last competitive goal for Ajax coming in the Europa League against Slavia Prague on 3 October 2024. Voetbal International reports that Van den Boomen scored early in the match, finding the top-right corner from a distance after controlling a rebounded pass. The score was 1-1 at the time of writing, with Rémy Labeau Lascary scoring ten minutes before the break.
