In a recent Ligue 1 match, Bordeaux and Marseille played to a 1-1 draw, with Cheikh Diabaté once again proving crucial for Bordeaux. The Malian striker netted his 12th goal of the season, maintaining his impressive goal-scoring form.
Despite Marseille taking an early lead through Benoit Cheyrou’s second goal of the season, Bordeaux managed to equalize thanks to Diabaté’s goal. This result means that Marseille’s winless streak at Bordeaux’s home ground, Chaban-Delmas, continues, stretching back 36 years.
Bordeaux seems to be buoyed by the potential arrival of Zinedine Zidane as the coach for the upcoming season. While Marseille still has an outside chance of securing a Europa League spot, they have often been thwarted by resilient performances from opposition teams.
A tweet highlighted Diabaté’s impressive minutes played to goals ratio this season, ranking him third behind Zlatan Ibrahimović and Dimitar Berbatov in Ligue 1.
