relive LOU’s success on a final penalty against the Girondins

Thank you all for following this meeting. See you soon on the website of Figaro.

Ahead of the entire match, Lyon almost got caught out in the final minutes. LOU snatched victory (28-26) at the very end and secured a second victory in two matches.

The fly-half secures his penalty and gives his team victory!

Unbelievable! Match point for Lyon.

Sheepish for surely the winning try for Bordeaux-Bègles! Jalibert senses the shot perfectly and shifts his winger who comes to flatten at speed in the Lyon in-goal! Jalibert however misses the penalty. There is still a chance for LOU.

Maxime Lucu speeds up the transmissions. The Bordeaux team tries to find the fault at the entrance to the Lyon 22 to snatch victory in the last minutes.

Lyon are chaining together phases of play and are getting closer to a possible fourth try. Fabien Gengenbacher’s men want to put themselves out of harm’s way once and for all.

Page-Relo and his team inherit a scrum in their camp. They will be able to get going again.

Lou combines again in a double. LOU keeps well and manages to keep up the pace until an interception and a kick from Jalibert… it comes out as a dead ball due to an unfavourable bounce.

Saghinadze for the third time for Lyon! A strong try from the third row. Berdeu converts. Lyon takes the lead again.

Start of the second period between LOU and UBB.

The two teams are back to back at the break (15-15). In difficulty at the start of the match, the Girondins reacted well to get back into the game. The Lyonnais were far too undisciplined and can blame themselves for it.

The fly-half brings UBB level with LOU.

Lyon took the lead again just moments before half-time.

The LOU players are increasing their playing time and trying to outpace the Bordeaux defensive lines.

Gazzotti revives Bordeaux-Bègles! The Bordeaux team finally cracked the Lyon rearguard who had been suffering for a long time. Carbery converts. UBB gets back into the game.

Bordeaux are very close to scoring their first try. Lyon are on the defensive and defending their goal line.

Second try for Lyon! Millet comes to flatten with force for LOU. The Rhone players bludgeoned the Girondins defense which finally cracked. Berdeu misses the transformation. 12-0 for the locals.

Scrum for Lyon in the 22-meter line of UBB, which has been suffering for several minutes.

The Lyonnais are pushing and are just a few meters from the Girondins’ goal line. Yannick Bru’s men are under pressure.

UBB is caught out. Depoortere is penalized on the ground. The ball goes to LOU.

Nicolas Depoortere’s teammates attack the Lyon camp and gain ground.

Baptiste Couilloud for the first try of the match! The Lyon scrum-half blew up the Bordeaux defense to score his 10th try in his last 10 matches! Unstoppable. Berdeu converts. 7-0 for LOU who have had a good start to the match.

A guaranteed touch on the Girondin side. Penaud inherits the ball and comes to use his explosiveness to gain ground.

LOU is chaining together playing time and is getting closer to the Bordeaux 22. Couilloud is speeding up the ball releases and is setting the pace.

Lots of rhythm at the start of the match. Tackles, short and long kicking are all there.

First animation out wide for Lyon, Niniashvili has the initiative. Interesting deep kicking game but the Bordeaux rearguard is attentive.

Start of Lyon-Bordeaux-Bègles!

Kick-off in a few seconds.
