Jussie earns visitors a point as Monaco end game with 10 men

Bordeaux missed the chance to make significant inroads on the Ligue 1 leaders after a 2-2 draw at struggling Monaco. Jussie scored a 72nd minute equaliser for the 2009 champions after Monaco had come from behind to take a 2-1 lead. Monaco also finished the game with 10 men after Mathieu Coutadeur, who had earlier put his team in front, was sent off with seven minutes to go. Bordeaux piled on the pressure early with Wendel firing just wide after Petter Hansson failed to clear the danger before Djimi Traore put the ball into his own net on nine minutes. Hansson was again in the spotlight as his misunderstanding with Stephane Ruffier allowed Yohan Gourcuff to put pressure on the goalkeeper, who hastily pushed the ball into the unfortunate Traore and in. Park Chu-young then flashed Monaco's first shot wide after 16 minutes before Ruffier made a fine stop to keep out a long-range Benoit Tremoulinas effort. Monaco levelled three minutes after half-time when Park ended their four-game wait for a goal by tapping in after Dieumerci Mbokani's header had hit the crossbar and fallen to him. Mbokani almost added a second soon after but Cedric Carrasso stuck out a foot to deflect it wide. Monaco did go ahead, however, with 64 minutes played when Carrasso completely misjudged a Coutadeur free-kick from near the corner flag and saw the ball fly in. But a first win in five games went begging when Jussie volleyed in an equaliser after 72 minutes when he met a Jaroslav Plasil corner. Coutadeur was then given his marching orders with seven minutes left but it was Monaco who could have won it in injury time when Carrasso made an excellent save to keep out Mbokani's first-time shot.
