PARIS

Troyes beat Lorient 2-1 at home in Thursday's playoffs first leg to move one step closer to Ligue 1 promotion.

Ligue 2's third-ranked Troyes broke the deadlock on Stephane Darbion's goal on 37 minutes. Majeed Waris scored an equalizer for Lorient, who finished 18th in Ligue 1, with eight minutes remaining.

Skipper Benjamin Nivet undoubtedly grabbed the spotlight as he finished a late winner into stoppage time. He also set up Darbion's goal in the first half.

Taking a one-goal deficit back home, Lorient still keep their hope of turning around the table alive in the second leg on Sunday.

After the finale of Ligue 1 on May 20, Bastia and Nancy were relegated to the second division, while Strasbourg and Amiens got promotion to the top-flight league. Enditem
