On Sunday, the remaining two matches of the third round of the French football championship "Ligue 1" were played. The defending champions "Lyon" returned to the path of victory after a draw in the second round, defeating "Bordeaux" 1-2 in a duel of leaders on the road.
In the first half of the match held in Bordeaux, the home team took the lead when Julien Faubert scored a penalty in the 5th minute of the game. After conceding a goal, "Lyon" attacked to equalize the score and Juninho's shot hit the opponent's goalpost.
After playing almost half an hour, Portuguese Tiago took a shot at goal, but the ball bounced off his teammate Fred's path and changed direction, confusing the opponent's goalkeeper and going into the goal. The teams rested at half-time with a tied score of 1-1.
In the second half, Bordeaux players had opportunities to score, but their shots from Marouane Chamakh and Johan Micoud were saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Just 4 minutes before the end of the match, Kim Kallstrom, who came on as a substitute, passed the ball perfectly to Sylvain Wiltord, who made a precise shot in the second half to put his team ahead.
