Bordeaux-Bruges-Lormont repart de l’avant à Strasbourg
Some Bordelais had reason to shine this Friday: Gutfreund for his return to his native region, Moreau and Damiani against their former club. But the promoted was also wary of a Strasbourg team at the bottom and in dire need of points.
Fifth success
Moreau was injured very quickly, which did not prevent his team from having the best start, nor even from managing a double numerical inferiority (1-3, 8e). The entry of Tabanguet, passer and scorer, changed everything (5-5, 15e), even if Bordeaux made good use of the slightest Alsatian errors (5-7, 19e).
Wora nursing from his triple to put his team in the lead for the first time (8-7, 22e). The Bordelais, now sufficiently abused, seemed to recover (8-10, 25e), but the locals, carried by the stops of Kouassi, equalized at the buzzer thanks to Bonnemberger (11-11 at the break).
The scenario repeated itself at the start of the second half. Guiraudou made the break (13-15, 38e), erased by a successful Wora (16-15, 41e). But Strasbourg lost too many balls and the promoted kept their hand (17-18 in the 46e19-20 at the 51e).
Kouassi diverted Minne’s penalty (20-20, 55e), his teammates still misplaced several precious balls. And Gutfreund, the Strasbourg player, offered an option to Bordeaux (20-22, 58e). Minne found success (21-23, 59e), without preventing his team from shaking because Bonnemberger, on a penalty, brought his team back to a length 75 seconds from the end (22-23). The Bordelais attacked for more than a minute, to the chagrin of the Strasbourg residents, and we left it at that.
