Unseen hero seals it late for Lille against Troyes | OneFootball

Ethan Mbappé settled the game in the third minute of second half stoppage time with a left-footed finish, giving Lille a 2-0 win over Troyes.

Introduced from the bench, Mbappé immediately carried threat. He drew a save with a driven effort in the 89th minute, signalling the late surge Lille would ride.

He then slipped a pass that released Maurits Kjaergaard for a low strike that Patrick Beach saved (90.). Moments later, another Mbappé effort was held in the first minute of second half stoppage time before the decisive chance arrived.

The teenager stayed alive in the box and arrived onto Kjaergaard's square ball to sweep into the centre of the net in the third minute of second half stoppage time. It capped a ruthless cameo built on timing and quick combinations in crowded spaces.

Mbappé finished with three attempts on target, one big chance created and four successful final third passes, underlining how his late entry tilted the contest Lille's way.

Lille remain top of Ligue 1 and visit Nice next. Troyes travel to Angers.
