Mais Mérignac-Arlac, after leading 1-0 with eleven against ten, ended up drawing (1-1) in their postponed derby against SA Mérignac last Wednesday. The beginning of the match was quite balanced. The suburban Bordeaux team, with a back three and a very offensive team, allowed the home team to find spaces and counterattack. A tactic appreciated by the Boulazac team.
They were dangerous twice, with Wesly Clary and Oumar Tirera. However, the final passes were not accurate. Despite a slight territorial dominance, the Boulazac team seemed hesitant. They managed two consecutive shots but Rémi Bost made a good save.
Un cadeau tombé du ciel
Then, like an Easter egg falling into the Boulazac garden, goalkeeper François Danze completely missed his clearance and handed the ball to Valentin Bourdarie, alone 3 meters from goal to push the ball into the net (1-0, 25th minute). The visitors reacted but their star was not in danger. On the contrary: Oumar Tirera, on the edge of offside, found himself alone in front of the Bordeaux goalkeeper who fouled him. A clear penalty that allowed Charly Dessolas to score the second goal (2-0, 57th minute).
Well organized in defense, the home team let the opponent have the ball. The chances were not very clear for the Girondins, but Rémi Bost had to admit defeat on a low shot by Kyllan Ramé (2-1, 71st minute). Fortunately, on the next attack, Valentin Bourdarie received a good cross in the box, dribbled past a defender and shot (3-1, 72nd minute) to secure a much-needed victory.
