Bahassa then! An exceptional goal was needed to allow the Girondins de Bordeaux to avoid their second defeat of the season this Saturday. Opposed to US Saint-Malo for the eleventh day of National 2, the Bordelais were able to count on a marvelous goal from Soufiane Bahassa to equalize.
Two minutes before the break, the Malouins opened the scoring through their captain Édouard Daillet. But back on the pitch, the Bordelais did not take long to come back to level with the locals. We are playing the 48th minute of play when Soufiane Bahassa inherits a ball at the halfway line. The midfielder sees that 40 m in front of him, Saint-Malo goalkeeper Corentin Escandre is advanced.
No more is needed for Bahassa. The Bordeaux player takes a few steps forward, raises his head, and unleashes a strike that is both subtle and quite powerful with his left foot. A 40 m spiked ball which is lodged in the Saint-Malo cages. A magnificent goal, but above all important, which allows the Girondins to go on for an eleventh match without defeat, in all competitions.
Thanks to this draw, Bordeaux is third in Group B of National 2, behind its evening opponent, still in the lead, and Saint-Pryvé Saint-Hilaire. Bruno Irles’ men, still in the mix for a comeback in National 1, will play next Sunday in the Coupe de France against Les Herbiers, before returning to the championship on December 7 against Stade Briochin.
