the nightmarish evening of the Girondins de Bordeaux

Of all the possible scenarios for the 38th and final day of Ligue 2, the one experienced on Friday evening at Matmut Atlantique thwarted all predictions. While the multiplex was taking place on the 10 lawns of L2, the spectators witnessed the stoppage of Bordeaux-Rodez, from the 23rd minute following the attack by a Bordeaux supporter on Lucas Buades, in the wake of the opening of the Ruthénois score. After chambering the FCGB supporters during his goal, Buades was taken to task by a member of the Ultramarines office who pushed him.

The match was definitively stopped, the player was examined and then sent to the hospital, suffering from a concussion. “The player cannot resume because he is concussed. In collaboration with the team of delegates and the LFP, we have respected the regulations, namely that the match will not resume“, announced the referee of the meeting, Nicolas Rainville. According to the Girondins de Bordeaux, Lucas Buades would not have been hospitalized while the coach of Rodez, Didier Santini, had announced the opposite a few minutes earlier.

A first imbroglio, while Gérard Lopez announced, at a press conference, “that to preserve the rights of the club and the institution, we will file a complaint against the individual.

Especially since the jets of smoke on the lawn did not help. According to information from The Team, the Bordeaux club is greatly exposed this Monday morning to a match lost on green carpet and therefore sees its chances of replaying in Ligue 1 being definitively reduced. The results of Le Havre, against Dijon (1-0), and Metz, against Bastia (3-2), already forced Bordeaux to a feat against Rodez. “There were 42,000 enthusiastic supporters, and it only took one to spoil the party”summed up the mayor of Bordeaux, Pierre Hurmic.
