Bordeaux Rallys from 3-0 Down at Half-Time to Win 4-3 and Advance to the Round of 32!

The Girondins de Bordeaux delivered one of the most thrilling scenes of the Coupe de France season. Facing the regional club Mazères, Bordeaux trailed 3-0 at halftime. The atmosphere must have been intense during the break, and the words of coach Bruno Irlès had a revitalizing effect on his players, leading to an incredible comeback.

The match ended 4-3, featuring an explosion of goals in just 14 minutes. Droehnlé sparked the comeback with a powerful left-footed strike under the crossbar (49th minute, 1-3), followed by Steve Shamal, who narrowed the gap with a curled shot (51st minute, 2-3). Matthieu Villette then equalized, converting on a rebound after a delivery from Etonde inside the box (63rd minute, 3-3). Villette ultimately secured the victory with a goal set up by Shamal (83rd minute, 3-4). This win advances Bordeaux to the 9th round of the Coupe de France, with the possibility of facing a Ligue 1 team.
