Lille made home advantage count at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday, 13 September 2026, seeing off Troyes 2-0 in a Ligue 1 clash that was effectively shaped before the break. A goal in the first half gave the hosts a 1-0 cushion at the interval, and while Troyes came out for the second period looking to find a way back into it, Lille held firm and added a second to make sure of things. There was little drama once that second goal went in. Troyes never really threatened to mount a comeback, and Lille managed the closing stages comfortably enough. Three points puts Lille in good shape early in the season and gives them momentum heading into the next round of fixtures, while Troyes will need to regroup quickly after a defeat that leaves them with work to do.
