Result: John Tshibumbu strike extends Gazelec Ajaccio unbeaten run

Josh Tshibumbu scores six minutes from time as Gazelec Ajaccio come back to draw with Nantes.

John Tshibumbu's 84th minute equaliser has helped Gazelec Ajaccio come back to draw against Nantes and keep the newly-promoted side's unbeaten run going.

Les Canaris started the better in Corsica as Emiliano Sala latched onto Leo Dubois's cross, but could only fire his shot wide of the mark.

Ajaccio's French forward Kevin Mayi (R) vies with Nantes' French midfielder Jordan Veretout during the French L1 football match Gazelec Ajaccio (GFCA) against Nantes (FCN) on December 5, 2015, at the Ange Casanova stadium in Ajaccio, on the French Mediter© Getty Images

GFC, who had taken 16 points from a possible 18 heading into this game, then threatened a breakthrough of their own after seven minutes as David Ducourtioux's cross found Tshibumbu before the forward failed to beat Maxime Dupe.

Kevin Mayi then missed two chances for the hosts, who were look to extend the gap between themselves and the relegation zone.

Tshibumbu continued to torment Nantes' backline and arguably had the best chance to put Gazelec ahead when his header came back off the post.

Instead, it was the visitors who took the lead as Sala turned Alejandro Bedoya's cross past a helpless Paul Andre Guerin.

Kolbeinn Sighthorsson almost extended that advantage when he headed just over the bar from another Bedoya delivery.

However, Gazelec rescued a point in the dying minutes as Tshibumbu diverted Louis Poggi's pass into the net.
