Led until the 79th minute, the Girondins finally had the last word on Monday, in Picardy, during the last match of the 25th day of L2.
Bordeaux regained second place in Ligue 2, synonymous with promotion to Ligue 1, by winning 2-1 with composure in added time, at the end of the 25th day, Monday in Amiens, after having cashed the first goal. This victory allows the Girondins to go back to Sochaux, with a one-point lead (45 against 44). And to get a little closer to the leader Le Havre, who conceded a draw in Grenoble (0-0) on Saturday, but who still has a comfortable safety mattress with seven lengths ahead of his new runner-up. Amiens remains 9th with 33 points.
When Papp Cissé opened the scoring in the 17th minute, Bordeaux responded at the end of the match with two superb headed goals from Aliou Badji (1-1, 79th) and Fransergio (2-1, 90th + 1 ).
After a match unworthy of their level last week in Annecy (2-0), the Amiens were entitled to a reframing during the week, which initially bore fruit. Philippe Hinschberger’s men entered the match with conviction and discipline. At home in a stadium of the Unicorn which pushed them, the Picards were quickly rewarded. Antoine Leautey took advantage of a bad pass back from Bordeaux to slip towards the opposing surface by taking on three defenders with him on the left side. His cross found Papiss Cissé, free of any marking, who opened the scoring with a perfect volley in the middle of the race (1-0, 17th).
Intense and pleasant
The match then remained intense and pleasant, with many dangerous situations on both sides. But the Amiens goalkeeper Régis Gurtner has long preserved the advantage with decisive interventions, including an extraordinary save on a header taken on the goal line by Josh Maja (71st), who entered the game shortly before. Bordeaux made their physical power and realism speak for themselves at the end of the game. Badji flew over his defender to place an unstoppable header on a cross from N’Simba (79th), and Fransergio, who had missed a few chances earlier in the match, snatched the three points with a somewhat similar action in added time .
The Girondins will host Saint-Étienne for the next day, 15th but a team in good shape at the moment, with a current series of four consecutive victories.
