The league leaders were pinned back in the 65th minute when Auxerre’s serial Polish striker Ireneusz Jelen grabbed the equaliser from close range. Second-placed Montpellier were then doing cartwheels with five minutes remaining as Jelen notched his second of the match following up his own effort against the crossbar, leaving Bordeaux top on goal difference with one game in hand.

Nancy retook the lead in the 27th when striker Jonathan Brison scored with an unstoppable strike into the top corner from jut inside the Nice area, but a ding-dong first half ended level-pegging when Chaouki Ben Saada side-footed an equaliser in the 37th.
