Ligue A: the Spacer’s of Toulouse have practically ensured their maintenance by winning in Cannes (3-1)
Launched in the play-down, the mini-championship at the end of the season so as not to be relegated to Ligue B, the Toulousains did not tremble on the Côte d’Azur. They recovered well after being beaten at Cambrai in the previous game. Their future becomes clearer.
Erased the quack of Cambrai. The Toulouse had promised themselves in the locker room after conceding the 1-3 defeat in the North and plunging to the penultimate place in the play-down classification.
Their victory at the Palais des Victoires does not yet mathematically assure them of maintenance, but it brings them closer in a simplified way. “It’s an important step, underlined Stétphane Sapinart, based on the 11 points now ahead of the ASC. We did not come out unscathed from the Cambraisian failure. There was a lot of dissatisfaction. It was the reaction of very concerned people.”
