Lille coach Rudi Garcia has called on his side to use their victory over Ajaccio as a catalyst to kick-start their Ligue 1 campaign. Saturday's 2-0 win was only their second triumph in eight attempts as goals from Nolan Roux and Ryan Mendes pushed the side up to tenth. "We wanted to find the taste of victory, it's done," Garcia said. "We must congratulate the group, it worked well. We have three more points and it makes us feel good, that's clear. Everyone was motivated."This is hopefully the beginning of a series [of wins]. I looked at a lot of players and I saw that the players were determined. I am satisfied that my players have been able to respond positively." His counterpart Alex Dupont was disappointed with the lack of attacking threat from his side, who failed to build on last week's 1-0 win over Brest. "It was pretty good in the first half," he said. "Our game lacked depth in the second half. Offensively, we were off. We were less dangerous in the second half." FIFA
