The shock turned in favor of the leader. Le Havre quickly opened the scoring, from the 9th minute, thanks to Amir Richardson on a decisive pass from Christopher Operi. Luka Elsner’s players then had several chances to worsen the score at the start of the second period.
Quentin Cornette first ill-adjusted a header (54th) after a poor raise from Gaëtan Poussin. Three minutes later, the Bordeaux goalkeeper made a good reflex save on a recovery from the same Cornette (57th). But the scenario of the meeting completely changed ten minutes later after the expulsion of the player from Le Havre for a second yellow card, reducing the Normans to ten (67th).

Le Havre – Bordeaux, the trap of Christmas
YESTERDAY AT 7:54 PM
Badji can blame himself
The Girondins however never managed to take advantage of it even if they could have benefited from a penalty for a Le Havre hand in the surface, not signaled by the referee. The biggest regret will undoubtedly be this big opportunity wasted in the 80th minute by Aliou Badji.
Alone in front of the Norman goalkeeper Arthur Desmas, served almost in front of the empty goal even by Bakwa, the Bordeaux striker did not attack his ball enough, leaving Sangante to come back and save the situation. The match, hit from start to finish, ended with a slim victory for Le Havre which, even narrowly, ensures that they start the second part of the season on the right foot.
Bordeaux drops to 3rd place
The Girondins lost big by giving up 2nd place to the Sochaliens who waited until the 73rd minute to open the scoring through their center forward Aldo Kalulu against a stubborn team from Rodez. With 28 points, the Girondins de Bordeaux fell to third place.
They still have a two-point lead over Grenoble, which lost (2-0) at Quevilly-Rouen. The big score of the evening went to Dijon, which crushed Stade Lavallois (5-0), thanks in particular to a double from Bryan Soumaré (30th, 88th) and an own goal from Pierrick Cros. The Burgundians thus extricate themselves from the relegation zone by passing 16th.
