Summary

Bordeaux opened the scoring in the 39th minute when Cheick Diabaté went around Evian goalkeeper Bertrand Laquait to slot home. Bordeaux were awarded a penalty a minute into the second half when Diabaté was brought down, but Laquait saved the spot kick with a one-handed stop down to his left from Diabaté. Evian equalised in the 51st minute when Yannick Sagbo controlled the ball on his chest before finishing from close range. Bordeaux went ahead again two minutes later when Henri Saivet scored from five yards out. In the 70th minute the scores were level again when Brice Dja Djedje finished at the back post after a cross from the left. With one minute remaining, Diabaté got the winning goal when he scored from seven yards out, after being played in by Nicolas Maurice-Belay.[4]
