Corsica -- Lille reacted to the Paris Saint-Germain defeat by beating Ajaccio 3-1 in French league on Friday. Lille was beaten 7-1 by PSG, the defending champion, last weekend. Cyrille Bayala, however, provided a late consolation for Ajaccio.
Turkey's Yusuf Yazici, a midfielder from Turkey, opened the scoring in the 17th with a brilliant volley. Ajaccio's defense couldn’t clear a cross. Yazici stopped Yazici's left boot from stopping the ball and lifted it above his head before turning to fire it in from just outside of the penalty area.
Brazilian defender Ismaily set up Jonathan Bamba's second goal for the visitors shortly before the break. Tiago Djalo effectively ended the home team's hopes of scoring with Lille's third goal in the 67th.
