Bordeaux can bite their fingers. Like their last outings, the Girondins played a good game at Groupama Stadium but came away with a 2-1 defeat against a Olympique Lyonnais far from impressive but now provisional leader of League 1.
Jean-Louis Gasset’s men showed good control during the first thirty minutes with the concern of relaunching properly. However, it was the Lyonnais who opened the scoring by Toko Ekambi (32nd) after an error by Laurent Koscielny who unintentionally handed the ball to the Lyon striker following a corner played two by Depay.
Subsequently, OL regained control of the game and returned to the locker room with the advantage in the score.
Dubois the hero of Lyon
From the start of the second period Bordeaux regained control of the ball and Samuel Kalu was responsible for equalizing the score with a good recovery from the left under the bar (55th) after a service from Oudin and a magnificent job. by Ben Arfa, very leggy tonight.
The two teams then neutralized each other before a last quarter of an hour of madness where Slimani, who entered the game shortly before, missed a huge opportunity (79th) before Anthony Lopes saved his family in front of Oudin barely a minute later (80th).
The deliverance finally came from Léo Dubois, who from a center-shot sent the ball into the skylight of Costil, incredulous, at the end of added time (90 ‘+ 3). A cruel result for the Girondins who showed good things while OL struggled a good part of the meeting.
But Rudi Garcia will be satisfied with the result, his men are provisionally first in Ligue 1 before the matches in Paris and Lille this weekend. For Bordeaux it is a missed opportunity to get closer to European places.
