Girondins4Ever incredible joys. We thought they had won the Coupe de France, with Olivier Dall’Oglio in the middle of the field.”

In The Complete Football on RMC, Damien Tardieu, sports correspondent for RMC, covered the meeting between theAS Saint-Etienne and the
Girondins de Bordeaux (2-1)counting for the 33rd day of the Ligue 2 championship. He notably returned to this completely crazy end to the match.

“The Stéphanois equalized at the start of added time, ten against eleven. Irvin Cardona missed a huge chance in the first half alone at six meters. There, he caught himself magnificently with a fake shot at the entrance to the 16 meters. Barbet is eliminated, the shot is stretched to the left of Johnsson who is beaten. The Greens, despite the expulsion of Nadé, returned.”

Then there was this second goal:

“The incredible Stéphanois goal! They turned the match around in added time, in a huge atmosphere in the 95th minute. There is a cross at the far post, the Girondins do not clear and Cardona, again, controls and makes a little slip. It goes into the opposite net. It’s an important moment in this Ligue 2 season. Saint-Etienne was trailing in the 91st minute. […] We saw incredible scenes of joy. The Greens’ victory two goals to one against Bordeaux. We thought they had won the Coupe de France, with Olivier Dall’Oglio in midfield. Victory for the Greens when they were down one to zero and Pedro Diaz’s goal in the 42nd minute. Then 91st Cardona, 94th Cardona. These are three points which are worth very, very dearly. It was hot at the end of the game but the Greens won two goals to one, they secured a place in the play-offs and above all they remained a small point behind the Angevins. A stunning victory, with ten men in the last half hour against Bordeaux.”
