French League.. Bordeaux reverses its two-goal deficit and imposes a draw on Marseille

Bordeaux came from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Olympique Marseille, after Angers scored its second victory in two Ligue 1 matches with a 3-0 victory over Olympique Lyonnais.

The Bordeaux match at the Velodrome got off to an alarming and alarming start when guest striker Samuel Kalou fell on the field at the start of the match, although the 23-year-old Nigerian got up while paramedics rushed to his rescue.

Kalou resumed playing for a few minutes after that, but looked unbalanced and was substituted in the 14th minute.

Marseille advanced 2-0 before the break through a double from Cengiz Under and Dimitri Payet after a great individual effort, before substitute Timothy Tempel reduced the difference and then Remy Auden, who replaced Kalou, equalized with a direct shot in the 57th minute.

Marseille played with ten men after central defender Leonardo Valerdi was sent off in the 89th minute after a goal was canceled for the hosts’ winger Nemanja Radonic for offside.

Earlier, Angers topped the standings with a 3-0 victory over 10 guest players from Lyon, and Angers deserved the victory and could have inflicted a heavier defeat on its guest, especially after Maxwell Cornet, left back of the visiting team, was sent off in the 65th minute for receiving a second warning.

Moroccan Sofiane Boufal put Angers in front with a shot from a difficult angle in the 20th minute, and the hosts doubled the score in the 53rd minute through a counter-goal from Marcelo, as the defender deposited the ball past his colleague goalkeeper Anthony Lopez.

Moroccan substitute Azzedine Onahi, who joined Angers during the current transfer period from third-tier opponents Avranche, scored his first goal in the top flight with a superb touch after the ball rebounded from the goal frame moments before.

The victory raised Angers’ tally to 6 points at the top of the competition from two games, ahead of its direct pursuer, newcomer Clermont and Paris Saint-Germain, who is in third place.
