Bordeaux booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals after they survived an unlikely Olympiacos fightback to win 2-1 at the Stade Chaban Delmas on Wednesday night for a 3-1 aggregate victory.Yoann Gourcuff's superb free-kick gave Bordeaux an early lead and the France midfielder saw another set-piece come back off the frame of the goal as visiting goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis struggled to cope with his delivery.
There looked no way back for Olympiacos when Matt Derbyshire was sent off in the 60th minute for two yellow cards in the space of seven minutes.
But substitute Kostas Mitroglou made an instant impression, crashing home a 64th-minute equaliser, and they received a second boost when the hosts' captain Alou Diarra also saw red.
Bordeaux, though, sealed their progress in the 88th minute, Nikopolidis again caught out as Marouane Chamakh headed in at the far post.
