Monaco Concedes Late Equalizer to Toulouse, Losing Ground in Ligue 1 Podium Race

A defensive error in stoppage time cost Monaco two crucial points as Toulouse salvaged a 1-1 draw in the opening match of Ligue 1's 25th round.

  • Monaco took the lead in the 17th minute through Takumi Minamino, who converted a well-placed cross from Mika Biereth.
  • Toulouse equalized in the 91st minute after a miscommunication between Monaco's goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki and captain Thilo Kehrer allowed Franck Magri to score into an empty net.
  • Monaco's coach Adi Hütter expressed frustration over the late defensive lapse, calling it unacceptable at this level of play.
  • The dropped points leave Monaco in fourth place, risking a wider gap from second-placed Marseille and third-placed Nice, both set to play later this weekend.
  • The match was briefly interrupted due to offensive chants from Toulouse supporters, leading to warnings from officials about a potential stoppage.
