Lille secured their first victory of the season with a narrow win over Ajaccio, as their defense was once again impressive. The match saw both teams struggle to create clear-cut chances, but it was Lille who came out on top thanks to their solid defense.
The match started slowly, with neither team creating many clear-cut opportunities until the 28th minute when Ajaccio midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure broke free and fired a shot that goalkeeper Hugo Gruvera saved well. However, Lille soon took control of the game, and they created several good chances before Ajaccio defender Adama Traore headed a cross into his own net in the 45th minute.
The second half saw Lille continue to dominate possession and create more opportunities. They were eventually rewarded for their efforts in the 67th minute when forward Moussa Sissoko scored his first goal of the season, putting Lille ahead with a powerful header from a corner.
Ajaccio did not give up easily, however, and they continued to press hard for an equalizer. In the 81st minute, they almost drew level when striker Yassine Chikhaoui scored a stunning goal, which was later ruled offside.
Despite this setback, Lille held on for the win, securing their first victory of the season and keeping their defenses clean sheet. It was another strong display of defensive solidity from Lille, who will be looking to build on this performance as they look to secure a place in the top four of the league table.
