Toulouse have scraped past Bordeaux with a 1-0 win in Ligue 1 this evening, after both sides were reduced to 10 men in the first half.
Adrien Regattin threatened for Toulouse early on as he unleashed a long-range effort from outside the box that just crept wide of the goalkeeper's post.
Jeremie Brechet should have put the hosts in front, but he headed over from only a few yards out having been picked out by Gregory Sertic's corner.
Toulouse were dealt a blow when Uros Spajic was shown a straight red card. However, the hosts also lost a man only a few minutes later when Maxime Poundje was given his marching orders by the referee.
The visitors took the lead just after the break as Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro found Martin Braithwaite from a cross, allowing the striker to finish neatly into the bottom corner of the goal.
Andre Biyogo Poko should have equalised later in the half, but he could only find the crossbar after trying to convert from the centre of the box, as the final score ended 1-0 to the visitors.
