PARIS, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Dijon came from behind to beat Toulouse 2-1 at home in the final round of Ligue 1 on Friday and took the playoffs spot at the expense of relegated Caen, who lost to Bordeaux 1-0.
Bafode Diakite's 33rd-minute goal was a blow to Dijon who aimed at staying in the top-flight league.
However, Dijon bounced back strongly after the restart to maintain their lifeline as Naim Sliti sidefooted to level the score in the 58th minute.
Three minutes later, Julio Tavares was on target but his goal was initially flagged an offside by the linesman, before match referee ratified Dijon's goal afterwards following VAR consultation.
Dijon will take on Lens, who came through Ligue 2 playoffs, for a spot in Ligue 1.
Caen wasted their superior position prior to Friday's matches and joined Guingamp, who conceded a 2-1 loss to Amiens, as the relegated sides to the second-tier league. Younousse Sankhare scored the only goal for Bordeaux.
Paris Saint-Germain, already crowned with five rounds remaining, lost their final match of the campaign 3-1 to Reims. PSG striker Kylian Mbappe set his league tally of the campaign at 33 goals.
Runners-up Lille, another French club securing automatic qualification into next season's Champions League group stage, also fell 3-1 at Rennes, finishing their glittering season 16 points behind PSG.
Lyon were placed third and sealed a berth at least in Champions League qualifying round. They could earn a direct qualification if Chelsea, already punching the ticket to Champions League after finishing third in the English Premier League, win the Europa League final. Lyon scored two late goals to rally past Nimes 3-2.
Fourth-ranked Saint-Etienne can participate in Europa League next term. They drew 1-1 at Angers on the final day.
Despite a 2-0 loss to Nice, the 2017 champions Monaco maintained their top-flight status through a sluggish season, sitting fourth from the bottom.
Also on Friday, Marseille edged Montpellier 1-0, and Nantes lost to Strasbourg 1-0.
