Bordeaux-OM. Olympique de Marseille won (1-0) against Bordeaux thanks to a goal from Ünder (38th) on behalf of the 20th day of Ligue 1 football. A historic victory which allows Jorge Sampaoli’s men to put an end to a series of Bordeaux invincibility which had lasted since 1977.
23:25 – The summary of the match
A classic of French football like no other. Before the kick-off of this mythical poster of Ligue 1 between Bordeaux and OM, the meeting has already caused a lot of ink to flow. Hit by a wave of covid, the Girondins tried to postpone the match against the Marseillais. The League decided otherwise. The high authorities of French football have applied the regulations to the letter. There should have been 11 cases of covid at the same time and not 8. A decision that greatly displeased Bordeaux sports director Admar Lopes. “Our club is not respected, the history of this meeting is not respected” the leader got carried away at a press conference. But that’s not all, this meeting was also played behind closed doors by decision of the club in the scapular.It is therefore in an electric atmosphere that this Bordeaux – Marseille was played.
At the start of the meeting, the objective of the Marseille troops is twofold: to end a series of invincibility of Bordeaux at home which has lasted for 44 years and to pass Nice in the standings. Opposite, the Girondins, scattered by the covid, want to honor their supporters and continue as every year to take points from the Marseillais. Jorge Sampaoli’s men start the game with their feet on the floor. True to their style of play, the Marseillais took possession of the ball and chained hot actions against apathetic Bordeaux. On a recovery error from the Girondins, Ünder logically opened the scoring for Olympique de Marseille (38th) and allowed his side to lead (1-0) at the break. Upon returning from the locker room, the Bordelais get some action in the Marseille area but without ever being really dangerous. Very quickly the Phocaeans regain control of the meeting and seek the break without succeeding, the fault of several parries from Costil. Petkovic’s substitutions won’t change the outcome of the match. In an empty stadium and facing an opponent who vegetates in the bottom of the table, the Marseillais finally signed a historic success. Olympique de Marseille had not won in Bordeaux since November 1, 1997. This success also allowed Sampaoli’s men to pass Nice in the standings and take second place in the championship. The Girondins remain 17th and lose for the first time at home against Marseille in 44 years.
