How Kalu’s first goal of the campaign rescued Bordeaux from defeat
Super Eagles star Samuel Kalu netted his first goal of the season for Girondis Bordeaux in their 3-3 draw away to Montpellier, in the French Ligue 1 on Wednesday.
Kalu started the game from the bench, but he was introduced at the start of second half after coach Vetkovic withdrew Javairo Dilrosun.
The Nigerian international justified his introduction as he netted the equaliser for Bordeaux with five minutes left on the clock.
Valere Germain gave the hosts the lead in the 12th minutes, after a good work down the right by Stephy Mavididi.
Bordeaux hit back with two quick from from Ui-Jo Hwang and Jean Onana on the 18th and 27th minutes respectively.
They went into half time break with the lead, but Montpelier restored parity five minutes into the second half through Valere Germain again.
