This gala match marked Jérémy Toulalan's grand return to the Rhône region, where he wrote the most beautiful pages of his career. But on the pitch, the atmosphere was not for pleasantries. Lyon thought they had sealed the match by quickly leading 2-0 thanks to a stratospheric lob from Nabil Fekir (10th minute) and a goal from Kenny Tete (23rd minute). This was without counting on the strength of character of Bordeaux.

Malcom first reduced the deficit in the 41st minute. Even after a third Lyon goal by Bertrand Traoré (74th minute), Bordeaux held on. In the 88th minute, Lukas Lerager emerged to bring the score back to 3-2, before Malcom unleashed a pure shot into the top corner in the 91st minute to snatch a legendary draw (3-3).

This jersey experienced every second of this high-level tactical and physical battle from within, one of the craziest matches of the 2017-2018 season.
