Defeating Evian 3-2, Bordeaux won the French National Cup
The match against Evian was the 10th French Cup final in Bordeaux's history. In the previous 9 matches, history did not favor the Gironde team when they only won 3 and lost 6. However, against the opponent who was considered weaker - Evian, coach Francis Gillot and his team took advantage of the opportunity to win 3-2.

Bordeaux just won the 4th National Cup championship in history
This is the fourth National Cup in the trophy room of the wine country team.
Bordeaux only really overcame Evian thanks to the bravery and experience of the team that regularly plays in big matches. Because Evian played very bravely and resiliently. Twice behind, Evian brought the match back to the starting line. However, with the brilliance of striker Diabate (scoring twice, including the winning goal for Bordeaux in the 89th minute), Evian had to watch the silver cup return to the Gironde.
Not long ago, M6 Media Group (Bordeaux owner) expressed its intention to sell the club because it did not want to “waste money on something that does not bring any profit” (referring to the fact that Bordeaux has been empty-handed since 2009 after winning the double of the National Championship and the League Cup). However, with the 5th title since taking over Bordeaux in 1999, this television group will no longer intend to abandon the club and wants to seriously invest in the transfer market for next season.
Thus, Bordeaux is the last representative of French football to win a ticket to European playgrounds next season.
