The hosts pushed forward after the break in a bid to level terms as Oscar Trejo fired narrowly wide and Dragos Grigore saw a long-range shot saved by Stephane Ruffier.
They got their just rewards two minutes from time when defender Akpa Akpro rifled into the bottom corner from 25 yards following an Aleksandar Pesic knockdown, although Toulouse drop into the bottom three due to results elsewhere.
