Ricardo Faty scored the only goal of the match as Ajaccio beat Bordeaux 1-0. And it was somewhat sensational.

An overhead kick, a bicycle kick goal to win the match for your team.

Doesn’t get better than this.

We are not even sure how this match was allowed to go forth in these conditions. This is snowiest match one could ever see. Saint Etienne pillaged Montpellier 4-1 as they moved to top 4 in the Ligue 1 table. Brandao, Aubameyang, Mollo and Bodmer scored for St. Etienne. Cabella scored the solitary goal for Montpellier.

That snow.

Wahib Khazri’s stunning free kick gave Bastia ray of hope but Lavezzi’s winner at the very end made sure PSG won the match 3-1.

Stadium Municipal | 1 Feb 2013

Toulouse were unfortunate to get a red card in the 40th minute mark. M’Bengue was shown his second yellow card, hence Toulouse played more than half of the match with 10 players.

And Carlo Ancelott’s PSG took full advantage of that. The Paris scored 4 goals and did not gave Toulouse much chance of making any attack. Pastore scored inside the first five minutes which was doubled by Zlatan in the first half itself. Sakho and Van der Wiel scored the other two goals.

New signing Lucas Moura provided two assists for the visitors.

Bordeaux are always good at home as not many clubs in recent times have come and won here. And PSG found it no different. But Zlatan managed to snatch a goal just before half time, nicely assisted by Lucas Moura.

Reims lost the match 1-2 against Bastia. Perhaps their motivation took a major hit after Ilan scored the first goal in this manner.

What an audacious scissor kick. One of the most difficult bicycle kicks to pull off. The ball bounced and went into the net.

Watch Ilan’s goal below.

Right footed blast from Serge Aurier of Toulouse in the match against St. Etienne.
