Wahbi Khazri earns Bordeaux late draw at Rennes

By Christopher Dodd, Reporter | 21 February 2015

Bordeaux come from a goal down to earn a late draw with Rennes in Ligue 1, with Wahbi Khazri's penalty cancelling out an opener from Paul-Georges Ntep.

Wahbi Khazri's second-half penalty capped off a late Bordeaux rally as they came from behind to earn a point in a 1-1 draw away at Rennes in Ligue 1.

Bordeaux started as the busier of the two teams and almost went in front through Mariano, who saw his effort from distance smartly kept out by Benoit Costil.

The home stopper was called into action again just a few minutes later as he had to produce another clever save to deny a stinging effort from Henri Saivet.

Cheikh M'Bengue appeared threatening for the hosts and he broke to cross for Pedro Henrique, who headed tamely wide.

The miss did not seem to matter too much, however, given that Paul-Georges Ntep slotted home in the 11th minute to give Rennes a slender 1-0 advantage.

Bordeaux passed up a great opportunity to get themselves back into the game after half time when Khazri crossed for Rolan, but he sent his header high and wide to the left.

The away side earned themselves a point with 13 minutes left to play when Gelson Fernandes brought down Diego Rolan in the box, leaving Khazri to fire home into the bottom corner and steal Bordeaux a 1-1 draw on the road.
