Ghana forward Osman Bukari climbed off the FC Nantes bench on Sunday afternoon and netted a crucial goal to seal a 5-3 victory for Girondins de Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1.
The pacey forward missed out on a starting role during today’s game but was introduced in the 86th minute of the second half to replace Kalifa Coulibaly.
Just three minutes after coming on, Osman Bukari was presented with a fantastic opportunity and made no mistake as he slotted his effort into the back of the net.
That goal sealed a 5-3 win for Nantes FC as the team amassed three big points from a pulsating encounter.
On the matchday, M’Baye Niang scored to give Girondins de Bordeaux the lead in the 6th minute. Later in the 18th, a strike from Javairo Dilrosun gave the hosts a 2-goal advantage.
However, courtesy of goals from Kalifa Coulibaly and Ricardo Mangas [own goal], Nantes drew level under 10 minutes into the second half.
Shortly after, Enock Kwateng got his name on the scoresheet to restore the lead for Bordeaux.
Unfortunately, that would not be the rest of the action. Impressive final minutes showing from FC Nantes saw the team scoring three additional goals to secure a 4-3 win at the end of the 90 minutes thanks to the brilliance of Nigeria winger Moses Simon and Ghana forward Osman Bukari.
