Mumbai, March 8: A last-minute defensive mix up allowed Frank Magri to rescue a point for Toulouse against high-flying Monaco in a stodgy 1-1 draw in Ligue 1 on Friday. 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 its first away win since before Christmas but its goalkeeper and a defender collided on the edge of their own box in the 90th minute and allowed Magri to steal 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 is fourth, two points behind Nice and three ahead of Lille, which has a game in hand against bottom club Montpellier on Saturday.
