Strasbourg score six past Troyes, coming back from a goal down to win 2-6
Antoine Mille had Troyes ahead inside 9 minutes, but Strasbourg answered with five unanswered goals — Ortega, Sousa, Reyna and an Amo-Ameyaw brace — before Conrad Harder's stoppage-time strike made it 2-6 at the Stade de l'Aube.
Troyes led for barely half an hour of game time before Strasbourg took over completely. By full time it was 2-6, Strasbourg's biggest away scoreline of the young season.
Antoine Mille put the newly promoted hosts ahead at 9'. Strasbourg needed until 40' to reply through Jacobo Ortega, but from there it did not stop: Diogo Sousa put them in front two minutes later, Giovanni Reyna made it 3-1 at 57', and Samuel Amo-Ameyaw scored twice in three minutes (85' and 88') to make it 5-1. Conrad Harder added a sixth for Strasbourg at 90+2', and Jérémy Le Douaron's stoppage-time consolation for Troyes at 90+5' made the final score 2-6.
One-way traffic after half-time
Strasbourg had 56% of the ball and 12 shots on target to Troyes' 6, with an expected-goals reading of 3.15 to 2.81 that undersells how comfortable the second half felt. Troyes' defence, which had kept a clean sheet on the opening day, conceded six for the first time this season.
