Late Lembezat strike snatches Dijon a point at Montpellier

Montpellier were denied victory in stoppage time as Dijon claimed a 1-1 draw in this opening-round Ligue 2 fixture at the Stade de la Mosson. Yaël Mouanga looked to have won it for the hosts deep into the match, only for Adel Lembezat to level for the visitors moments later.
