Ten-man Ajaccio have moved out of the relegation zone by defeating Valenciennes 2-1 for their fourth straight victory in the French league.

Substitute Christian Kinkela scored the winner in stoppage time by curling a shot into the top corner.

Brazilian striker Eduardo connected with a cross from midfielder Paul Lasne to put Ajaccio ahead after five minutes before Valenciennes forward Vincent Aboubakar levelled with a low drive in the 47th.

The visitors were down to 10 men in the 73rd when Lasne was sent off for a second yellow card.

Also on Sunday, Bordeaux and Evian drew 0-0.

Bordeaux goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso fouled Yannick Sagbo but then saved the subsequent penalty from the Evian forward in the 69th.

Rennes hosted Marseille later on Sunday.

Paris Saint-Germain needed a scrappy 1-0 win over Brest to keep a three-point lead over Montpellier at the top of the league on Saturday.

Also on Saturday, it was: Nice 0, Montpellier 1; Lille 3, Saint-Etienne 0; Lyon 3, Dijon 1; Toulouse 1, Caen 0; Lorient 1, Sochaux 1; and Auxerre 1, Nancy 3.
