ลีลล์ vs เลอ อาฟร์

Lille made light work of a dominant-on-paper Le Havre side, grabbing the lead inside five minutes and never letting go. It was a result built almost entirely on that early punch, with the hosts content to soak up pressure for long stretches afterward and still walk away with all three points. Dilane Bakwa opened the scoring in the 5th minute, finishing off a Tanguy Nianzou assist to settle the hosts early. The game turned further in Lille's favor when Ayumu Seko was sent off in the 61st minute for serious foul play, leaving Le Havre to chase the game a man down. Despite the setback, the visitors kept pushing, racking up far more shots and possession, but couldn't find a breakthrough, with four more yellow cards shown late as frustration grew. For Lille, the win snaps a rough patch after a defeat had ended their four-match unbeaten run, a timely response at home. Le Havre, meanwhile, remain without a win in six matches now, a result that will sting given how much of the game they controlled after going down to ten men.
