The one play that made the difference was the groundball

PARIS - Reserve goalkeeper Azbe Jug cost his side two goals as Bordeaux lost 2-1 at Nantes in the French league on Saturday and saw its push for Champions League places come to a halt. White Air Max 2018 On Sale .Jug, who replaced the injured Cedric Carrasso, could not get a firm hand on the ball when midfielder Jordan Veretout opened the scoring from Alejandro Bedoyas assist in the 23rd minute.Jug was unlucky on Nantes second goal after the ball took a deflection off Bordeaux striker Cheikh Diabate from a corner and rebounded onto the post before hitting the goalkeepers head in the 66th and finishing in the net. The visitors equalized through Kian Hansens own goal.The loss ended fifth-place Bordeauxs three-game unbeaten run, and kept Willy Sagnols side seven points behind leader Marseille while Nantes snapped a four-game winless streak.We did not play bad, we created many chances, but we were unlucky, Jug said after his third league match this season. On the first goal I dived unsuccessfully, and on the second there was not much I could do. The ball hit the post, then my head, its just hard luck.Both Rennes and Montpellier failed to capitalize on Bordeauxs loss as the Brittany club slipped to a second consecutive defeat, a 2-0 loss at Bastia, while Montpellier conceded a 3-3 draw to Lens on Yoann Touzghars 80th-minute equalizer. Rennes remained in sixth place, three points ahead of Montpellier, which led 2-0 after 16 minutes and failed to hold onto the lead twice on a deteriorating home pitch.Also, Lorient moved three points away from the relegation zone with a 3-1 defeat of Metz, and Brazilian striker Diego scored twice as Reims came from behind to beat 10-man Evian 3-2.After winning two of its previous three games to move just one point behind fourth-place Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux was confident it could extend its seven-match unbeaten run at Stade de La Beaujoire.Thomas Toure came close to putting Bordeaux ahead in the seventh minute after the forward collected a high ball and dribbled past goalkeeper Remy Riou, only to see his shot saved on the line by defender Papy Djilobodji.Bordeaux looked in complete control but a lapse in concentration allowed Veretout to score his sixth goal this season. Bedoya collected a long ball from Riou on the right side, and found Veretout with a fine low pass in the box that he converted from a tight angle.But Nantes was made to pay five minutes later for a costly mistake from Djilobodji, who gave the ball away to Whabi Khazri on the right side. Khazri found space in the box to pick out Gregory Sertic, whose low cross was deflected by defender Hansen into his own goal.A well-organized Bordeaux midfield then made it difficult for Michel Der Zakarians side to get possession, but lack of quality in the final third hindered the visitors attacks.Bedoya sent a header inches wide in the 51st minute as Nantes looked more adventurous and tried to apply pressure early in the second half.After Jug helped the ball into his own net, Bordeaux pushed and came close three minutes from time when substitute Diego Rolans header was cleared off the line by Oswaldo Vizcarrondo, then Bedoya blocked another header from Lamine Sane with his chest.Marseille travels to Monaco in the weekends big match on Sunday, while second-place Paris Saint-Germain visits Guingamp.

The Canadiens captain, who underwent surgery on his injured biceps in the off-season, had been skating with the team in a non-contact capacity since last week.OAKLAND, Calif. -- After getting a taste of a pennant race as a late-season call-up last year, Martin Perez looks nothing like a rookie this time around. Perez allowed one run in seven innings to win his sixth straight start and Mitch Moreland homered to move the Texas Rangers back into sole possession of first place in the AL West with a 4-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night. "Hes grown leaps and bounds really," manager Ron Washington said. "Its maturity. The experience he had last year up here helped him tremendously. He realized he can pitch up here and he just goes out there and pitches. Right now a lot of good things are happening for him." Perez made six appearances after being called up last September and lost twice to the As to help Oakland steal the AL West title from Texas. Perez (9-3) is doing his best to win that title back this year. After falling into a tie for first with the As when they lost the series opener, the Rangers bounced back and are assured of leaving Oakland for the final time in the regular season with at least a share of the division lead. "When you come the first time, you dont have too much of an idea, how the game is here," Perez said. "Its the same ball, but a lot of guys have more experience than you. I just tried to learn last year and this year too. Every day you learn something new. You have to have a plan for the game. ... I just want to continue." Bartolo Colon (14-6) allowed three unearned runs in the fifth inning following his own error and missed an opportunity to become first pitcher to reach 20 career wins against Texas. Colon is winless in five starts since July 26 with a DL stint in the middle of that stretch. The highlight of the game for Oakland came in the sixth inning when third baseman Josh Donaldson raced across the vast foul territory at the Coliseum and leaped over the tarp to make a backhand catch to rob David Murphy. "Youre not going to see too many plays better than that," manager Bob Melvin said. That spectacular play came after a poor decision earlier in the game that squandered a prime scoring chance for Oakland. Donaldson was on second with two outs when Yoenis Cespedes hit a grounder into the hole between third and shortstop. Jurickson Profar got to the ball but held onto it as he had no play at first. Donaldson ran through coach Mike Gallegos stop sign and was easily thrownn out at home despite barrelling into A. Wholesale Air Max 2018 Free Shipping. J. Pierzynski. "For some reason I thought I heard go," Donaldson said. "I know it wasnt Gags because as soon as I took two steps he was saying, Stay here, stay here. It ended up being a really bad play for us and for myself." Oakland didnt threaten again off Perez and lost for just the second time in its past nine games. Colon, making his second start back from a strained left groin, stranded runners on third with less than two outs in the first and third innings. But he lost the lead on Morelands solo homer with two outs in the fourth. The Rangers struck for three unearned runs in the fifth inning to take a 4-1 lead with help from two comebackers that Colon could not handle. The rally started when Craig Gentry reached on an error with one out when his grounder popped out of Colons glove. Gentry scored on Profars double into the right-field corner that rookie Michael Choice bobbled. Ian Kinsler followed with another comebacker that hit off Colons glove and was ruled an infield single. Adrian Beltre added a run-scoring groundout and Pierzynski blooped an RBI single. "The one play that made the difference was the groundball hit to me that I dropped," Colon said through an interpreter. "It was a routine play." Alex Rios added a leadoff homer in the eighth to make it 5-1. Perez followed up his perfect August by winning again to start September, shutting Oakland down after Coco Crisp doubled and scored on Jed Lowries sacrifice fly in the first. Perez became the first Texas pitcher to win six consecutive starts since Kenny Rogers won eight straight in 2005. His last four wins have come against All-Star pitchers, outdueling Seattles Felix Hernandez twice and Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox once. "After the leadoff double, he was lights out," Pierzynski said. "He had all the pitches going." NOTES: Moreland has five HRs this season at the Coliseum. ... Pierzynski caught his 100th game for Texas, joining Bill Dickey, Johnny Bench and Brad Ausmus as the only players to reach that milestone in 13 straight seasons. ... Rangers SS Elvis Andrus missed his third straight game with a sore back and could be back for the series finale Wednesday or Friday in Anaheim. ... Oaklands Jarrod Parker (10-6), who is 8-0 in his last 17 starts, takes Yu Darvish (12-6) in the series finale Wednesday. ' ' '
