At 7:45 p.m., amid the cheers of more than 40,000 fans in the stadium, the Champions League group stage match between Bordeaux and Leeds United kicked off.
Bordeaux's Champions League journey this season has not been smooth. Like Galatasaray, they only managed one draw and one loss in their first two matches and are currently ranked third in Group C on goal difference.
In this match, they wanted to take advantage of their home ground to get off to a winning start in the Champions League this season, so even though their opponent was Leeds United, who were ranked first in the group, they launched a fierce attack on Leeds United's goal after the start of the game.

Ibrahimovic, of course, wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, and with a powerful shot, he sent the penalty he had won into Bordeaux's net.
With a score of 0-1, Leeds United, playing away, have become the team in the lead.
After taking the lead, under Li Shiguang's instructions, Leeds United compressed their defense more tightly. Whenever Bordeaux's attack advanced to the midfield, it would be surrounded and harassed, which prevented Bordeaux from equalizing the score for a long time.
Finally, after 90 minutes, Bordeaux lost 0-1 to Leeds United at home.
