Josh Maja and Denis Bouanga on target in Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux draw

Denis Bouanga was on target to help Saint-Etienne to a 1-1 draw with Bordeaux in a Ligue 1 encounter on Sunday.

Anglo-Nigerian forward Josh Maja thought he'd won it for the visitors as he opened the scoring with a 65th-minute effort. But the lead was short-lived as Bouanga equalised for the hosts three minutes later.

Maja, netting his sixth of the campaign, benefited from a mix-up in the box after Etienne's defenders failed to deal with Samuel Kalu's deflected cross.

But in a well-orchestrated move, Gabonese attacker – Bouanga – linked up with Algeria's Ryad Boudebouz for the equaliser.
