Defensive mix up helps Toulouse draw with Monaco

A last-minute defensive mix up has allowed Frank Magri to rescue a point for Toulouse against high-flying Monaco in a stodgy 1-1 draw in Ligue 1.

Japanese winger Takumi Minamino gave Monaco the lead 17 minutes in when he tapped in a cross from Mika Biereth.

That looked certain to give Monaco their first away win since before Christmas, but then their goalkeeper and a defender collided on the edge of their own box in the 90th minute to allow Magri in and score.

Keeper Radoslaw Majecki redeemed himself seconds later with a world-class save to stop Toulouse from taking all three points, but the draw cost Monaco ground in the race for a top-three finish.

The top three qualify automatically for next season’s Champions League and Monaco are fourth, two points behind Nice and three ahead of Lille, who have a game in hand against bottom club Montpellier on Saturday.

Toulouse remain eighth, a point ahead of Lens and Brest.

Players from both clubs wore jerseys with “WO=MAN” on the back instead of their names as part of a French league initiative around International Women’s Day.
