BERN (Interstat) — Darian Males scored in the 61st minute to lift Young Boys to a 1-0 victory over Lille in Europa League group stage play Thursday at Stadion Wankdorf.

The Swiss side secured the win despite being projected as underdogs. The lone goal came after Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi was sent off with a red card in the 32nd minute. Males finished a play assisted by substitute Olivier Giroud, who was later booked. Lille defender Tanguy Zoukrou provided an assist but also received a yellow card and a late red card in stoppage time.

The result marked a successful European start for Young Boys, while Lille began its campaign with a defeat.
