    On Sunday, the French Ligue 1 match between Ajaccio and Lille was a tight affair that ended in a narrow victory for the visitors. The game was decided by a goal scored by Jonathan David, who put his team ahead just before halftime.

    David's goal came at the expense of Lille's defense, which had been impressive throughout the season but could not prevent Ajaccio from scoring twice in the second half. The first goal was scored after a long ball from Ajaccio forward Yannick Bolasie found the head of striker Moussa Dabo, who finished it off to give the visitors the lead.

    The second goal came shortly after the break as a cross from Ajaccio midfielder Maxime Gonalons found the head of defender Anthony Vanden Berghe, who headed it into the back of the net to complete the comeback.

    Despite conceding two goals, Lille's defense managed to keep their opponents scoreless for most of the match. However, they were unable to hold on to the lead, as Ajaccio made sure to press them high up the pitch and create chances.

    In the end, Lille were able to hold onto their slender lead until the final whistle, securing all three points in a hard-fought victory. It was a testament to the resilience of the Lille defense, who were able to keep their opponents at bay despite facing significant pressure.

    Overall, it was another strong performance from Lille, who have now won four consecutive games in all competitions. With David scoring and keeping his side defensively solid, the future looks bright for the club.
