A month ago, the promotion of the Girondins de Bordeaux to Ligue 3 (formerly National) seemed to belong to the category of sweet dreams, quite simply unattainable. Under the leadership of Rio Mavuba, however, FCGB has just taken 12 points out of 15 possible. To now follow the leader of his National 2 group.
Held in check for the fourth day in a row, this time by a team from Granville who were in poor shape (0-0), La Roche-sur-Yon allowed the scapular club to once again claim promotion to the third division. The Bordelais having done what was necessary at the expense of Bayonne today at Jean-Dauger (1-2).
The 2e place acquired at minimum
Despite the opening of the Basque score by Arthur Saintorens from the 13the minute of play, the Girondins were able to turn things around against a team that had been infallible until then in front of their home crowd. This is thanks to two achievements by Guillaume Odru (39e) and Matthieu Villette (46e).
Two days before the end of the season, Bordeaux is only one length behind the leader. With the final meeting at the Herbariums (5e) and Avranches (8e) when the Yonnais will try to keep control by confronting Chauray (9e) then Locminé (10e). The Navy and Whites can boast of having locked second place in the ranking this weekend. One more chance of reaching Ligue 3 in the event of administrative relegation to the higher level.
