Ajaccio have snatched a late 1-1 draw against Evian TG in Ligue 1, thanks to a last-minute goal from Junior Tallo.

Dennis Oliech could have put Ajaccio in front after 15 minutes, but he saw his left-footed shot fly wide of the right post.

Daniel Wass whipped in an inch-perfect ball for Evian, but the oncoming Tulio de Melo could only flash the ball wide of goal with his head.

Evian almost took the lead in the second half when Cedric Barbosa produced a teasing ball into the box that was met by Melo, only for him to see the keeper stop his effort in front of goal.

In a game of few chances, the first goal didn't come until the 85th minute when Marco Ruben headed Evian ahead having latched onto Kevin Berigaud's cross.

Somehow the hosts managed to throw away the three points as they allowed Tallo to steal in and slot home in the final minutes to earn Ajaccio an unlikely draw.
