The LOSC finds a smile in Toulouse and returns to 4th place

After a defeat against OL last week, the LOSC chained with a second trip against Toulouse this Saturday. A meeting for the Dogues who had to prevail to keep their hopes of the Champions League next season. To make a big match and leave from Toulouse with a success, Bruno Genesio decided to align his typical team. Opposite, Toulouse has little to play at the end of the season but the purple still represents a bit to scratch difficult to play.

And the first minutes clearly confirmed this conjecture. From the first moments, the locals were dangerous in the Lille surface. And after Gboho tested Lucas Chevalier (3rd), the northern goalkeeper was saved twice by his post on attempts by Sierro (6th) and Magri (8th). After this highlight, the TFC was trapped on one of the first Lille opportunities. Touched in the axis, Matias Fernandez-Pardo made his way to the surface entrance from which he sent a dry strike in the goals of Guillaume Restres (0-1, 21st).

Le Show Knight Frustre Toulouse

After this first blow, the men of Carles Martinez Novell did not demoralized themselves and continued to accelerate to seek equalization. A resilience that paid. On a clever ladle of Rafik Messali, Charlie Cresswell was alone in the area and had all the freedom to equalize with a stung head (1-1, 42nd). A return to the short -term display table. On the last action of the first period, Bakker saw his free kick be countered by Casseres and deceive remains (1-2, 45+4th). A blow of fate for the Toulouse who returned with the knife between the teeth on the return from the locker room.

However, the Toulousains were frustrated by a Lucas Chevalier XXL on the return from the locker room. In great shape, the 23 -year -old porter was breathtaking on three occasions in three minutes (68th, 69th, 70th) and allowed the Dogues to stay in front of the display board. And despite a final baroud of honor from the TFC, the LOSC knew how to seek a precious victory for the forceps. With these three points, Lille does an excellent operation and temporarily dates back to 4th place. For their part, the pitchounes stagnate in eleventh place.
