Με 10 παίκτες αγωνίστηκαν οι δύο ομάδες στο μεγαλύτερο διάστημα του δεύτερου ημιχρόνου, με τον Derbyshire να αποβάλλεται πρώτος στο 60' και τον Diarra να ακολουθεί στο 68'. Μετά το σφύριγμα της λήξης του αγώνα, ο Mellberg δέχθηκε και αυτός κόκκινη κάρτα από τον Πορτογάλο διαιτητή για διαμαρτυρία.
Η αναμέτρηση άρχισε με το χειρότερο τρόπο για τον Ολυμπιακό Σ.Φ.Π., καθώς οι Γάλλοι προηγήθηκαν μόλις στο 5' με εκτέλεση φάουλ του Gourcuff. Στη συνέχεια, έχοντας πετύχει το στόχο τους, έλεγξαν το ρυθμό, πίεσαν πολύ στη μεσαία γραμμή και έδωσαν χώρο στους «ερυθρόλευκους». Αυτοί, ωστόσο, δεν μπόρεσαν να αναπτυχθούν, καθώς LuaLua και Dátolo δεν προσέφεραν και έμεναν μόνο τα κέφια του Zairi, ο οποίος είχε μια ενέργεια στο 17' και μια καλή ευκαιρία στο 40'.
Η F.C. Girondins de Bordeaux ''ανέβασε'' ταχύτητα μετά το 35', ''προειδοποίησε'' με τον Chamakh στο 35' και έχασε δύο μεγάλες ευκαιρίες με τον Gourcuff στο 38' (τετ-α-τετ με Νικοπολίδη) και στο 44', σε εκτέλεση φάουλ που βρήκε το οριζόντιο δοκάρι.
Στο δεύτερο ημίχρονο έσπασαν καρδιές. Ο Ολυμπιακός Σ.Φ.Π. αρχικά βρέθηκε με την πλάτη στον τοίχο, καθώς αποβλήθηκε στο 60' ο Derbyshire με 2η κίτρινη κάρτα. Ωστόσο, αν και με 10, ισοφάρισε στο 65' με ωραίο γκολ του Μήτρογλου, που είχε μπει δύο λεπτά νωρίτερα στον αγώνα. Μάλιστα, στο 68’η αριθμητική ισορροπία αποκαταστάθηκε, καθώς αποβλήθηκε και ο Diarra για τους γηπεδούχους.
Η ψυχολογία ήταν με το μέρος του Ολυμπιακού, ο οποίος πίεσε τους Γάλλους που τα είχαν χαμένα. Έχασε μεγάλη ευκαιρία με τον Raúl Bravo στο 77', γλίτωσε το 2-1 στο 81' στο τετ-α-τετ του Chamakh, έκανε μεγάλη προσπάθεια αλλά δεν κατάφερε να πετύχει το ''χρυσό'' γκολ της πρόκρισης.
Αντίθετα, η F.C. Girondins de Bordeaux έφτασε στο 2-1 με τον Chamakh στο 88' και όλα τελείωσαν.
English version
F.C. Girondins de Bordeaux survived a major scare to reach the quarter-finals of Europe's élite club competition for the first time in 22 years after a hard-fought victory against an Olympiacos C.F.P. team who finished with nine men.
Despite taking a one-goal lead into the home leg and doubling their advantage through Gourcuff's brilliant fifth-minute free-kick, the French titleholders were left hanging on to a slender 2-1 aggregate advantage after substitute Mitroglou levelled matters on the night after 65 minutes. With both teams losing a player to red cards either side of Mitroglou's strike, the final moments were nervy for the home fans. Sané's goal line clearance denied Raúl Bravo as the visitors pressed for an all-important second but Chamakh had the last say, heading in Trémoulinas's cross two minutes from time.

Bordeaux had failed to win any of their three league matches since the 0-1 success in Piraeus, yet suggestions confidence might be ebbing were dispelled inside five minutes as the hosts burst out of the blocks. Fernando had already shot wide when Wendel raced up the left only to be tripped by Stoltidis. The Greek champions paid a hefty penalty as, from the resulting free-kick, Gourcuff curled a stunning shot from close to the touchline over Nikopolidis and into the top corner.
There was nothing Nikopolidis could do when Gourcuff arrowed another magnificent free-kick over from the left flank in 44'. Fortune favoured the 39-year-old this time, however, as the ball cannoned out off the underside of the bar. Shaken by the early goal, Božidar Bandović's side took time to hit their stride, although Derbyshire came close to levelling matters in added time when he turned in LuaLua's cross-shot only for the flag to be raised.

Derbyshire's intelligent running was posing problems, but the English striker allowed his frustration to get the better of him on the hour, picking up a second yellow card for a late challenge on Plašil. The task had just got even harder for the visitors, yet Mitroglou gave them hope by scoring just two minutes after coming on. From Bravo's throw, the substitute stole in front of Michaël Ciani and beat Cédric Carrasso with a superb volley from the edge of the box.
If Mitroglou's strike sent a chill around Stade Chaban-Delmas, Laurent Blanc's men were in more trouble moments later as Diarra's dismissal for a second booking evened up the numbers. Olympiacos C.F.P. threw everything they had at the visitors, but after Bravo had been denied, Chamakh wrapped up Bordeaux's seventh straight U.E.F.A. Champions League win. The visitors' misery compounded when Olof Mellberg was sent off for dissent after the final whistle.
