Two days after coach Gus Poyet was suspended for accusing his club of selling a player without telling him, Bordeaux lost its second straight league game.
Bordeaux's miserable start to the season continued with a 2-1 defeat at Toulouse on Sunday, with midfielder Matthieu Dossevi firing home the winner midway through the second half.
Striker Aaron Leya Iseka put Toulouse in front on the stroke of halftime with a brilliant 30-meter shot, before Guinea forward Francois Kamano's well-taken 50th-minute goal — a flick followed by a volley — gave Bordeaux hope.
Also, Senegalese striker Makhtar Gueye's debut goal earned 10-man Saint-Etienne a 1-1 draw at Strasbourg.
Only months ago, Gueye was playing in the Senegalese second division with Union sportive de Goree.
Now he's a goal scorer in the French top flight.
"I don't have words," Gueye said afterward.
Gueye netted in the 88th, four minutes after coming on, with Saint-Etienne trailing to a 55th-minute curler from midfielder Anthony Goncalves.
Saint-Etienne had center half Neven Subotic sent off after 18 minutes.
Strasbourg and Saint-Etienne have four points, while Toulouse has three.
Later Sunday, promoted Nimes take on Marseille 25 years after their last meeting in the top flight.
