Bordeaux, meanwhile, overturned a clumsy Monaco team that was reduced to ten (2-1) on Sunday during the 14th day of Ligue 1, settling in the third provisional place before moving from Marseille to Toulouse in the evening. .

This short success is the business of the Girondins (22 pts), who interfere on the podium behind Angers (2nd, 24 pts) and Marseille (4th, 22 pts). And that plumps Monegasques (14th, 18 pts) to a week of their shock against the leader, Paris SG (1st, 33 pts).

Faced with ASM in ascending phase for several weeks, this Bordeaux has relied on three executives: Pablo, royal behind and striker ahead (29th), Nicolas de Préville by his percussion and his coolness to transform the penalty of 2 -1 (69th), and finally Benoît Costil, impressive last bulwark to keep his alive and preserve the score.

- Uncertain and exciting -

It is annoying for the Principality's club, which had started its match perfectly, put in confidence by the initial groping of Bordelais deprived of many executives: Mexer, Otavio and Jovanovic suspended, Aït Bennasser exempt from match against his lending club, then Laurent Koscielny package Sunday morning and Jimmy Briand during the warm-up ...

In the first period, the princely team enjoyed their offensive trident Golovin-Ben Yedder-Slimani so effective lately. It is also on a center from outside the right of the Russian slightly deflected by the Frenchman that the Algerian adjusted Costil, his 6th goal of the season.

But the Girondins found color through a direct game, with Basic to the distant past for Maja who, after a hook, saw his shot miraculously deflected by Maripan (29th). On the next corner of De Préville, Pablo has risen above the scrum to tie his head.

Everything had to be redone for some, everything to build for the others, but against two brilliant goalkeepers in their cage, the match became uncertain and exciting.

The fate eventually chose the Girondins, finally supported by the Bordeaux public who had been on strike encouragement in the first period. And De Préville, who with a free kick well placed, found the hand of Slimani in the wall. Red card for the African champion and penalty kicked in the wake (2-1), before the end of the match where Monaco has often stumbled on Costil.
