Thanks to achievements by Yanis Merdji and Soufiane Bahassa, the FCGB logically dominated the red lantern of Poiré-sur-Vie, this Saturday, as part of the 16e act of National 2 (2-0).
Saint-Malo, untouchable leader since the start of the season, having at the same time conceded its very first setback at home to Saint-Brieuc (1-2), the Bordelais, second in the championship, are back five lengths from the synonymous first place promotion.
An encouraging result, certainly, but spoiled in part by the injury exit of Andy Carroll, the essential English scorer for the Girondins, credited with eight goals until then. Hit in the hamstrings, the person left the pitch limping low. He should be out for at least three weeks.
