Bastia 1-1 Bordeaux

But: Van Den Kerkhof (90^And+4) for the Bastiai // Ignatenko (83^And) for the Girondins

The Ballon d’Or ceremony was also more interesting.

After a particularly boring game, Bastia managed to collect a point against leaders Bordeaux (1-1) on Monday evening. Slapped in Le Havre last week (3-0), Bastiais show a more interesting face this time around. Aggressive in pressing, they still struggle to create situations and fail to seize opportunities, like when Van Den Kerkhof crosses too much from a distance (26^And). Opposite, Bordeaux does not produce better and from this first act we will only remember a big fight between the two clubs on their return to the locker room.

The animosity between the two teams was further intensified at the beginning of the second period, bottles were even thrown on the lawn, which the referee did not fail to report to the delegate. But on the ball side, absolutely nothing interesting is happening on Armand-Cesari’s lawn. It was finally Ignatenko who unlocked the situation with an unexpected whim a few minutes from the end and gave the Girondin the advantage. (0-1, 83^And). As we thought the suspense had been played, Van Den Kerkhof catapulted a missile into Poussin’s skylight on the last free kick of the match to finally flip the fans. (1-1, 90^And+4).

We stop here: Bastia climbs to ninth place, Bordeaux remains the leader of the championship.
