Bordeaux 2 : 1 Stade Rennais FC - Toure nets late winner for Bordeaux
Posted Sunday, September 28, 2014 by PA
High-flying Bordeaux picked up their fifth Ligue 1 win of the season after a goal three minutes into injury time saw them to a 2-1 victory over Rennes at the Stade Chaban-Delmas.
The home side took the lead through Wahbi Khazri after 73 minutes before Rennes levelled nine minutes from time through substitute Mamadou Habibou.
However, with 93 minutes on the clock, Thomas Toure found the net to earn Willy Sagnol's side the spoils and move them onto 17 points from eight games.
It took just two minutes for the hosts to create their first chance when Nicolas Maurice-Belay released Diego Rolan inside the penalty area with his shot going inches wide.
Rennes had an even better chance to open the scoring after eight minutes when Ola Toivonen freed Abdoulaye Doucoure, who, with just Cedric Carrasso to beat, fired wide.
The goalkeeper was under pressure again after 21 minutes when Romain Danze's cross found Toivonen whose volley was somehow kept out by the 32-year-old.
After 59 minutes Rolan found Cheick Diabate inside the penalty area but his effort was kept out by Benoit Costil.
However, the home side did get their opener after 73 minutes when Toure beat two men before feeding Khazri, who fired into the corner.
Not deterred Rennes fought back and levelled after 81 minutes when Abdoulaye Doucoure dispossessed a home defender before setting up Habibou who volleyed home.
Rennes could not hold on, though, and Diabate found an unmarked Toure, whose right-footed drive flew into the top corner.
