‘Hwang Ui-jo’s 73-minute appearance’ Bordeaux loses 1-6 to Lyon… still in relegation
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = French professional footballer Girondaeng Bordeaux striker Hwang Ui-jo (30) failed to score in two games in a row, and the team lost to Olympique Lyon and was still in the relegation zone.
Hwang Ui-jo started in the 2021-2022 League 1 Round 32 away match against Lyon at the Groupama Stadium in Dessin-Charpieu, France on the 18th (Korean time), and played until he was substituted for Secu Mara in the 28th minute of the second half.
Hwang Ui-jo, who scored his 11th goal of the season with a header goal against the scalpel in the last round for the first time in about two months, gave the team a key to the 3-1 victory, could not add an attack point on this day.
Amidst Hwang’s silence, Bordeaux lost 1-6 to Lyon, and the last two matches (1 win, 1 draw) were suspended.
Bordeaux, with 26 points, are in 19th place in the relegation zone.
In League 1, 19th and 20th places will be relegated to League 2 (Second Division) for the next season, and 18th place will have to try to stay with the winners of League 2 Promotion Playoffs (PO).
With six games remaining in the regular season, Bordeaux is four points behind 17th-placed Saint-Etienne (30 points), who are outside the relegation zone.
The road to go Bordeaux was busy conceding three goals in the first half, starting with Moussa Dembele’s header goal in the 20th minute of the first half.
Mara made up for a goal with a penalty kick in the 39th minute of the second half, which was already losing 0-5, but Dembele struck a wedge in the second half of extra time.
Lyon, who went undefeated in 4 league matches (2 wins, 2 draws), moved up to 8th place (49 points).
Bordeaux’s 33rd round against Saint-Etienne, which will be held from 2 am on the 21st, was also a bad thing that they had to play without Hwang Ui-jo.
Hwang Eui-jo was suspended for one match due to warnings in the 23rd round against the Stard Rangs, the 24th against Rance and the 31st against the Metz. Since this disciplinary action is in effect from 00:00 on the 19th, he was able to participate in this match.
