Bordeaux edges Lille in nine-goal thriller
Soccer Betting Lines
02/12/2012 -
Lille, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ludovic Obraniak scored 3 minutes into injury
time and Bordeaux escaped Stadium Lille Metropole with a 5-4 win over Lille on
Sunday in Ligue 1, despite blowing a three-goal second-half lead.
Nicolas Maurice-Belay scored a brace, Obraniak scored the first of his two and
Yoan Gouffran all scored inside 60 minutes as Bordeaux built a three-goal lead
that disappeared in the final half hour.
Eden Hazard scored in the 65th for Lille, Mathieu Debuchy followed in the 74th
and Nolan Roux tied the match in the 90th, but the defending Ligue 1 champions
were not able to capture even a single point.
Obraniak capped the nine-goal thriller when he directed a pass from Gregory
Sertic into the net in the dying seconds, spoiling his former club's comeback,
and sending Bordeaux home with three big points. He joined Bordeaux from Lille
last month, following a long stint with the club from 2007-12.
Bordeaux won for the third time during a four-match unbeaten streak as it kept
its European hopes alive. Lille lost for the second time in its last three and
has slipped well off the pace off PSG and Montpellier in third place.
Nice 0, PSG 0
Nice, France - PSG dropped points for the first time under new manager Carlo
Ancelotti on Sunday, but a 0-0 draw at Nice was still enough to return to the
top of Ligue 1.
Montpellier displaced PSG on Saturday, but the lackluster effort in Nice moved
PSG back to the summit by one point. PSG had won its first five matches in all
competitions under Ancelotti.
Nice made it tough on PSG, and picked up a point that could eventually lead to
its survival. Nice is 18th, two points from safety, after its third tie in its
last five matches.
St Etienne 1, Toulouse 0
Toulouse, France - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in the 70th minute and St
Etienne defeated Toulouse, 1-0, on Sunday in Ligue 1 for its fourth victory in
its last six Ligue 1 matches.
St Etienne climbed to seventh in the table, while Toulouse lost for the third
time in its last four to slip to eighth.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
