Bordeaux keeps pressure on Lyon

Sun 20th, April 2008

Toulouse, France (Sports Network) - Johan Micoud scored in the 93rd minute as Bordeaux kept the pressure on Lyon in France's Ligue 1 with a 1-0 victory over Toulouse on Sunday.

Lyon, which is trying to win its seventh straight title, edged Strasbourg, 2-1 on Saturday to push its lead to seven points.

Bordeaux struggled to solve Toulouse in the Garonne derby at Municipal Stadium and close the gap back to four points, but was rescued by the late winner from Micoud.

Micoud's goal was Bordeaux's only shot on goal. Gabriel Overtan helped set up the goal by keeping the ball in play on the right before passing to Micoud.

Bordeaux plays Nice, Marseille, Sochaux and Lens in its last four games. Lyon finishes with Caen, Nice, Nancy and Auxerre.

Toulouse remained three points out of the bottom three.

In Sunday's other game, Kevin Mirallas scored two goals as Lille overcame an early deficit to defeat Marseille, 3-1.

Lille, which also got a goal from Jean Makoun, kept its slim European hopes alive by moving within six points of fourth-place Marseille.

Marseille entered the weekend in third - which is the last qualifying berth in the Champions League - but now holds the last European spot and a place in the UEFA Cup.

Where the players come to play and STAY.
