Late Henrique strike wins it for Bordeaux

Bordeaux have beaten APOEL 2-1 in the Europa League this evening.

Ludovic Sane's 24th-minute strike was cancelled out by Esmael Goncalves's tap-in on the stroke of half time.

However, Henrique netted a 90th-minute winner to give the French side all three points in Group F.

Sane opened the scoring for the French side when he evaded his marker from a short corner to finish at the near post.

However, with half time looming, the Cypriot side got themselves back in it when Goncalves took advantage of a lapse in concentration from the home side to level things up.

Henri Saivet had a great chance for Bordeaux to retake the lead five minutes after the break, but the youngster fired over from a good position after Diego Rolan had released him.

Efstathios Aloneftis hit the post for APOEL on the hour mark when he fired a low shot in from long-range.

With the game seemingly petering out for a draw, Henrique popped up with a header past Urko Pardo to give his side the win.
