Girondins de Bordeaux Clinch 2-0 Victory Against Dunkirk: Davitashvili and Vipotnik Shine

A real relief! The Girondins de Bordeaux logically won this Tuesday night at Matmut Atlantique against Dunkirk (2-0) on the 34th day of Ligue 2. In a very special context due to the strike of Ultramarines in Virage Sud, knew Navy and White how to do the job with good control of the game from the first minute to the last. Zan Vipotnik and Zuriko Davitashvili scored two Bordeaux goals just before and after the break. This victory allows the Girondins to take an important step towards maintaining their position, now eight points ahead of the red zone four days before the end of the season.

Davitashvili is back

“It’s a complete game with and without the ball, getting a taste of Albert Riera, the Girondins coach. We inspired a lot, we could have scored more. But the opposition also likes the ball and it made us be more in our camp. We showed that we can defend, not for 90 minutes, but for 20-25 minutes. In terms of overall performance, I’m happy.” And he can be after a very good performance from his team at all levels. Facing harmless opposition, the Navy and Whites were patient and effective for once this season. A copy that would also have been more difficult for the Northerners without the excellent game of their goalkeeper.

We will especially remember the performances of the two winners of the night. Davitashvili from Zuri it was a very good match again. He has three goals and three assists in six games since Georgia qualified for Euro 2024. It was a real turning point for him after months of traveling at the Girondins. Zan Vipotnik, after his big failure in Saint-Etienne, scored his 9th goal of the season against Dunkirk. Even though he is still very careful in the game, he served Zuriko Davitashvili perfectly in his evening performance. “It was very important to win at home in this somewhat strange atmosphere. explains Jérémy Livolant, Marine et Blanc striker.

South Turn silent throughout the game

As expected, this meeting was held in a very special setting. The South Bend was completely empty at the start due to the Ultramarines trigger strike, the largest group of Bordeaux supporters. This silence lasted the entire meeting. “I’m not going to talk about the supporters. I brought up the topic at the beginning of the week, what I hoped, something else. This is the last time I’m going to talk about that. Yes I’m going to focus on my players with them, we’re in the same boat.” said Albert Riera, who was whistling for one of the first times when the team members were announced.

“We were very professional about it, remembers Jérémy Livolant. We stayed in our bubble. We tried to ignore all that. It wasn’t easy, but we did it. I hope things will be better for the next game at home and there will be less tension. We want them to be with us at the end of the season.” It will definitely depend on the results and commitment of the players till the end.

Goal, 50 points

A promise that Albert Riera will not skip despite almost certain maintenance: “We are not talking about all the games, just the next one in Laval. We have to win. We want to cross the barrier of 50 points as soon as possible. After that, we’ll see. But you know as I do, there will be no rest.” It is true that, on this side, we can count on the Spanish to keep everyone at 300%. For Jeremy Livolant, “We have to try to finish as high as possible even though I’m sure we’ll regret it in the end. ” “The aim is to capture places and respect this jersey, this club It’s been a very complicated season, but it’s not over and we want to finish it in the right way the best. said the Girondins striker.
