Paris Saint-Germain secured a 1-0 victory over Troyes at the Parc des Princes on November 7, 2026, maintaining its position at the top of Ligue 1. The win marked the club’s 11th victory across all competitions and seventh straight in the league.

PSN Edges Past Troyes With Late Goal

The Parisians, coming off a 6-0 Champions League win at Villarreal four days prior, controlled much of the match but found themselves tested by a determined Troyes side. The game’s decisive moment arrived in the 39th minute when defender Illya Zabarnyi, heading a cross from Senny Mayulu, gave PSG the lead. Despite numerous chances to extend the advantage, including a late off-the-line clearance from Troyes’ goalkeeper Hillel Konaté, PSG could not add to its tally, settling for a narrow 1-0 result.

Luis Enrique Adjusts Lineup Amid Absences

Manager Luis Enrique made several changes to his starting XI for the match. Right-back Achraf Hakimi was given a rest, while midfielder Maghnes Akliouche was sidelined with an injury. Their openings were filled by Warren Zaïre-Emery, who was deployed as an attacking right-back, and Senny Mayulu, who joined Fabián Ruiz and Vitinha in the midfield. Ferran Torres and Mika Godts also started, partnering up front with Désiré Doué.

Troyes, buoyed by a recent 2-0 victory over Le Mans, entered the match hoping to pull off an upset but ultimately fell short in the capital. The result leaves Troyes in a precarious position, sitting 16th in the table and potentially dropping into the relegation playoff zone following the 10th round of fixtures.

Troyes’ Late Rally Foiled by Offside

The second half saw Troyes push forward with more intent, creating a few dangerous moments. Renaud Ripart had a chance in the 56th minute, but his effort sailed wide of the target. PSG continued to create opportunities, with Zaïre-Emery and Ferran Torres both coming close to doubling the lead, only to be denied by Konaté’s strong goalkeeping.

Troyes thought it had found an equalizer in the 84th minute following a corner kick, but the goal was correctly ruled out for offside after a video review, preserving PSG’s slender lead.

PSN’s Unbeaten Run Continues

With this win, PSG has further solidified its dominance at the top of Ligue 1. The club's 11-game winning streak across all competitions shows its current form, though the narrow victory against a lower-placed opponent highlights areas for improvement. The team now turns its attention to the upcoming international break before resuming league action.
