This Saturday, January 18, 2025, the Girondins de Bordeaux played a match on the 16th day of the championship National 2 at home against the club
Vendée Poiré Football. The meeting was played at
Stade Matmut Atlantique – René Gallice.
The men of Bruno Irles were to remake Matmut into an impregnable fortress, after losing to Saint-Colomban Locminé at the very beginning of the year. It won't take long since in the 5th minute Yanis Merdji will open the scoring by taking advantage of a poor recovery from the opposing defense. The Bordeaux team will be in the rhythm while the Vendée team, who only resumed this Saturday after their last match on December 21, were looking for a second wind. However, FCGB will still struggle offensively. If Merdji seems to be struggling, Andy Carroll and Soufiane Bahassa are more discreet, just like Travis Mutyaba who lacks a lot of gestures. Le Poiré sur Vie will find its rhythm gradually, then cause some problems in Bordeaux. But few opportunities to their credit thanks to Adrien Louveau and Jean Grillot in particular. The two men will cut transitions for the first, intercept offensives for the second. They will also be very solid throughout the match.
In the second half, the intensity will drop a notch and Bordeaux must do without Andy Carroll who leaves with an injury and is replaced by Issam Ben Khemis. The Tunisian midfielder will make a good return despite ending the match with a big missed opportunity and a yellow. Two players will once again struggle, Thomas Trazié and Travis Mutyaba. The first, always discreet, will even have possession of a goal ball but will make the wrong choice. The second will be messy and his choices will once again be upside down… But Soufiane Bahassa, as a surface fox, will give us another brilliant blow with a recovery and a lob following a header behind a defender . Technically it is very precise. This allows Bordeaux to take shelter.
In the end, the Girondins won and took three points from Saint-Malo who lost at home to Stade Briochin.
