Bordeaux held at Sochaux

The match between leaders Lille and AS Nancy, and the bottom-of-the table clash between Racing Lens and Caen, had to be called off because of heavy snow in the north of France.

With a game in hand, Lille remained top on 31 points, level with Paris St Germain and Stade Rennes. Sochaux fell to 11th in the standings.

"Every time we have the possibility of getting back in the race, we waste it", Bordeaux goalkeeper Cedric Carasso said.

"We had the chances to win the game. On the second half we deserved the three points", Sochaux defender Damien Perquis added.

Brazilian midfielder Jussie headed Bordeaux in front in the 28th minute after a spell of pressure but Sochaux equalised through Brown Ideye seven minutes later, taking advantage of the Girondins' lack of concentration.

Bordeaux were lucky not to go behind in the second half when in-form winger Marvin Martin hit the crossbar with 17 minutes remaining.
