Late Toulouse leveller sees Monaco miss chance to move into Ligue 1's top six

[p]Les Rouge et Blanc were clearly fired up for this game, as they made a blistering start and put the hosts’ defence under immediate pressure.[/p][p]After only five minutes played, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/akliouche-maghnes/0UP6MLGJ/"]Maghnes Akliouche[/a] fired a shot on target that was superbly tipped over the bar by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/restes-guillaume/v3qqsoQi/"]Guillaume Restes[/a], before the visitors made the breakthrough on their very next attack, [b]as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/teze-jordan/Sbk0VFPJ/"]Jordan Teze[/a] headed home a superb delivery from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/adingra-simon/6kgBNHG6/"]Simon Adingra[/a] to net his first Ligue 1 goal of the season. [/b][/p][p]With [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/toulouse/MLmY2yB1/"]Toulouse[/a]’s defence all over the place, Adingra almost added his name to the scoresheet when his close-range strike was denied by Restes shortly before the quarter-hour mark.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/monaco/2PIvr8o4/"]Monaco[/a] doubled their advantage in ruthless fashion on 18 minutes, however, thanks to an outstanding finish into the top corner from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/camara-lamine/boBGHitI/"]Lamine Camara[/a]. [/b][/p][p]While playing nowhere near their best, Carles Martinez Novell’s side should have halved the deficit midway through the first half, but [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/russell-rowe-jacen/dzTXj2Mu/"]Jacen Russell-Rowe[/a]’s effort was dragged wide when he should have done better from a great position.[/p][image alt="Match momentum" id="69816efe-0a79-45ea-a4b4-e42840a2e227" credit-line="Opta by StatsPerform" guid="a7b5a5c0-3a6d-453a-b340-dce4567d702a" original-width="1920" original-height="1080" /][p]After a fairly quiet start to the second half, the contest kicked into life again just after the hour mark as Toulouse secured a lifeline.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/methalie-dayann/v71VNtNg/"]Dayann Methalie[/a]’s exquisite pass across the face of goal found Russell-Rowe inside the box,[b] and the Canada international made no mistake this time to drill the ball past [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hradecky-lukas/nRZtaBXj/"]Lukas Hradecky[/a] and into the back of the net to set up an intriguing finale.[/b][/p][p]As full-time loomed, it looked like Toulouse would run out of time to grab an equaliser, [b]but [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/emersonn/48J66oWK/"]Emersonn[/a] had other ideas, and popped up at the right place at the right time in the 90th minute to grab a dramatic goal and level the game at 2-2 to send the home crowd into raptures.[/b][/p][embed guid="7fc3c28a-0492-4cfa-9b9a-c781f1b2d9c5" url="https://x.com/Ligue1_ENG/status/2048144172197040303" social-type="twitter" /][p]Les Rouge et Blanc stay in seventh place in the Ligue 1 table and sit three points behind fourth-placed Lille OSC with the finishing straight in sight.
