It’s a defeat that hurts… This Sunday, September 4, 2022the FC Toulouse bowed to the smallest of margins on the lawn of Clermont, a direct competitor in the race to maintain (2-0). A big blow to the morale of the Violets who chained a third defeat in a row in League 1…
Dallinga touches the bar from the 1st minute
Beaten by PSG in the middle of the week at the Stadium (0-3), Téfécé presented a starting lineup practically modified compared to this meeting. Alone Sulla and Dejaegere execute their return among the holders instead of Zanden and Diarra.
Determined and still just as playful, the Toulouse team only waited a few seconds to prove dangerous on the lawn of the Gabriel Montpied stadium. From the 1st minute of play, Thijs Dallinga found the bar after a good move in the box.
Dominating and determined, the Violets seemed to be having a good day, despite some inaccuracies as they approached the last 30 meters. Clermont, for its part, was not really dangerous during the first act (0-0, half time)…
Clermont realism
Upon returning from the locker room, Toulouse’s enthusiasm was quickly cooled by Maxime Gonalons, strangely alone to take a corner from the right side in the 48th minute (1-0). Lax on this stopped phase, Philippe Montanier’s players were immediately punished by Auvergne realism…
Assumed by this opener, Rasmus Nicolaisen’s teammates never found the resources to return to this game. Only Branco van den boomen could have tied the two teams, but it was without counting on the magnificent parade of Diaw (86th).
Launched on the offensive at the end of the game, the Violets gave in again after additional time on an achievement by Cham (2-0)…
After this new defeat, the TFC sinks slightly into doubt, a week before receiving Reims, another competitor for maintenance.
