Toulouse 0-1 Bourdeaux: Malcom's strike secures Garonne derby bragging rights
Friday 15 September 2017 23:44, UK
Brazilian Malcom scored a 69th minute winner as Bordeaux moved up to third place in Ligue 1 with a 1-0 win at Toulouse in the Garonne derby.
Malcolm fired home with his left foot after meeting a ball into the box from Francois Kamano to maintain his side's unbeaten start to the new season.
Bordeaux went into the game on the back of a goalless draw at Lille last Friday night while south-west neighbours Toulouse also drew 0-0 at Troyes.
But it was the home side who started much better with Corentin Jean shooting straight at Benoit Costil, while Andy Delort also flashed a header wide.
Costil saved brilliantly to deny Andy Delort and Ola Toivonen also came close as the visitors struggled to stay on level terms.
But a single defensive lapse by Toulouse allowed Malcom to pounce, hitting a powerful effort in off the crossbar to take the points in style.
