TROYES, France (Interstat) — Troyes edged Pau 4-3 in a high-scoring Ligue 2 match Saturday at Stade de l’Aube.

Forward Tawfik Bentayeb led Troyes with two goals and an assist, including the decisive score in the 90th minute to break a 3-3 deadlock. The game featured six different goal scorers. Cheikh Fall, Giovani Versini and Mathys Detourbet also scored for Pau. Joseph Kalulu and Martin Adeline added goals for Troyes.

The result defied a pregame projection of a 1-1 draw. The match was contentious, with eight yellow cards issued. Troyes begins its season with a win, while Pau starts with a loss.
