To the chagrin of the purple supporters, the champagne can (still) stay cool… The Toulouse Football Club was playing Sochaux (Doubs), another climb contender and 4and ex-aequo before the meeting, Tuesday April 19, 2022, on behalf of the 34and daytime of League 2. A trip as precious as it is perilous on the lawn of the Bonal stadium, five days before the end of the championship.
The TFC runs after the score, Rouault equalizes
Led from the first moments of the match (by a goal from Rassoul Ndiaye in the 6and minute), Téfécé has chased after the score much of the meeting. And he’s the defender Antoine Rouault which allowed the Violets to bring the point of the draw to the 51and minute.
Toulousains who even came close to correctional at 63and, when the Sochaux midfielder Gaëtan Weissbeck discovered Maxime Dupé… and his post. Final score: 1-1. Toulouse therefore brings back the point of the draw on the banks of the Garonne, and a sixth consecutive meeting without defeat.
Six points ahead of Ajaccio, nine over Auxerre
In this hotly contested championship, the football world also had its eyes riveted, this Tuesday evening, on the other three suitors on the climb. And behind Toulouse FC, these rivals who were all playing at home kept up the pace, having all collected the three points of the victory: theAC Ajaccio against Dunkirk (2-1), theAuxerre against Dijon (2-1) and the FC Paris (1-0) against Caen.
Four days before the end of the championship, the men of Philippe Montanier to hold six point lead on the 2andAjaccio, and nine out of 3and, Auxerre. The Violets also have a significantly better but difference, which could prove decisive.
But the easiest way to secure a ticket to Ligue 1 is still… to win. The climb could be played at the Stadium on Monday April 25, against Niort. The Violets could finish in front of their public with this interminable passage in the purgatory of Ligue 2, subject, again, to victory.
