Bordeaux edged past St Etienne and in to the semi-finals of the League Cup thanks to Fernando's extra-time penalty. The Brazilian midfielder scored the decisive goal in the 99th minute after Marouane Chamakh had been fouled in the area.
Bordeaux improved after a poor first half, with St Etienne goalkeeper Jody Viviani keeping the score level with a number of important saves.
Johan Micoud fired a long-range shot against the bar, while Jean-Claude Darcheville blasted over when well positioned as the game dragged in to extra-time.
But just as penalties loomed, Fernando kept his cool from the spot to send Bordeaux through to the last four.
