Bordeaux Secures Victory Against Lorient, Rising to the Top of the League

This Saturday, the N2 championship continued with a match between Bordeaux and Lorient. Although it resembled a classic Ligue 1 clash on paper, it was Lorient’s reserve team facing a Bordeaux side still aiming for promotion to the National league. Bordeaux, boasting five consecutive wins, was expected to perform well, and they did not disappoint.

Under the guidance of Bruno Irles, Bordeaux secured a solid 2-0 victory. The home team benefited from the dismissal of former Marseille player Isaak Touré, who was sent off after just 30 minutes. Royce Openda and Ludéric Etonde were the goal scorers for Bordeaux. With this victory, Bordeaux achieved its sixth consecutive win in N2, rising to the top of the standings, level on points with second-placed La Roche Vendée, but with a superior goal difference.
