Olympique de Marseille put an end to 44 years without a league win in Bordeaux by winning 1-0 on Friday night at the Girondins’ field.
OM temporarily seized second place, 10 points from PSG who play Sunday in Lyon, and three lengths in front of Nice, traveling to Brest, in 2 days.
Summer rookie Cengiz Under, on loan from AS Roma, scored the only goal of the match in the 37th minute, taking advantage of a poor recovery from Bordeaux goalkeeper Benoît Costil.
A meeting marked by the Covid
Bordeaux had requested the postponement of the match from the LFP after registering 21 positive cases in two weeks. The group led by Swiss coach Vladimir Petković is struggling in the league.
Positioned in a sad 17th place, just ahead of the first relegation Metz, the Bordeaux team will have to react to Rennes on January 16.
