A late Florian Raspentino strike has given Bastia a 1-0 victory over Bordeaux in their Ligue 1 clash this evening.
The visitors settled into the match quickly, and could have taken the lead when Jussie released Diego Rolan, before the Uruguayan tried to set up Enzo Crivelli only to miss his teammate and give the ball away.
Bastia improved as the half went on as Floyd Ayite went through on goal, but the forward's strike went wide of the target.
Ayite had the game's first shot on target moments later, forcing a comfortable save from Bordeaux keeper Cedric Carrasso, while Crivelli tested Jean-Louis Leca in the opposition goal moments later.
Both sides struggled to create opportunities after the break, as Ayite asked too much of Brandao with a cross in one of the half's only chances.
The hosts broke the deadlock on 88 minutes as Raspentino reacted quickly to a slip by Bordeaux's Ilias Hassani to touch the ball into the net, giving Bastia a 1-0 win.
