Lorient – Estac Troyes

Lorient’s home spell faltered as Estac Troyes snatched a 2‑1 victory, leaving the Breton side still perched in eighth place with five points from four games, their goal‑difference unchanged at zero after a 4‑4 tally. Troyes, now twelfth with four points, improved their standing despite a heavy 4‑9 season‑long goal deficit, thanks to the win that tipped the head‑to‑head record in their favour. The result means Lorient’s unbeaten run has slipped to just one win and two draws out of four, while Troyes have secured their sole league triumph over the Breton club this campaign. Both clubs will now look to rebuild, Lorient hoping to bounce back to the top half and Troyes eager to climb out of the lower reaches of the table.
