In the sixth round of Ligue 1, Lille claimed a 1-0 victory over Le Havre at the Decathlon Arena in Lille on October 10, 2026. The match was officiated by referee Bastien Dechepy. The only goal of the game was scored by Dilane Bakwa in the fifth minute. According to one report, Bakwa took advantage of a strong opening from Nianzou, who created space behind Le Havre’s defense. Bakwa then adjusted his position after being slightly offside and curled the ball into the net. Another report highlighted that Bakwa controlled the ball on the right side before moving into the center to take a precise shot that found the back of the net. Lille had previously lost to Nice in their match before the international break, but this win allowed them to temporarily take the lead in the league. They now matched AS Monaco in points, though Lille had a better goal difference. Le Havre, however, remained at the bottom of the table, now three points away from the safety line needed to avoid relegation. The match featured several substitutions, including Haraldsson and Ueda coming on for Perrin and Giroud in the second half. A pivotal moment came in the 60th minute when Seko was shown a red card after a controlled move by Haraldsson. This reduced Le Havre to ten players, giving Lille more control over the game. In the second half, a free kick by Bentaleb struck the crossbar, narrowly missing a goal. Le Havre had several chances to equalize, including a header from Lamine N'Diaye and a shot from Samatta, but they were unable to find the net. One report noted that a penalty awarded to Lille was later canceled due to an offside infringement. Another report suggested that Lille was fortunate to hold on to their lead, as they struggled to create clear scoring opportunities throughout the match. Lille’s starting lineup included Özer, Tiago Santos, Kouassi, Alexsandro, Perraud, Mukau, Bentaleb, Bakwa, Kjærgaard, Perrin, and Giroud. Le Havre started with Gallon, L. Ndiaye, Seko, Touba, Ouziad, R. Ndiaye, Ebonog, Richardson, Nakamura, Samatta, and Maja. The match lasted 93 minutes, and the final score remained 1-0 in favor of Lille.
