Toulouse. TFC win without fear
> THE ESSENTIAL
The clear possession of the ball in favor of the premises does not allow them to find the way to the nets in the first period where they have difficulty finding themselves, then combine in the last meters. Fortunately for them, Albères-Argelès may not be doing better and the first period remains sterile. The content is good, but the TFC only needed one goal for the recipe to be the right one. Better still, these are two achievements in quick succession that the Violets will register at the start of the second period: Ntamack takes over his vis-à-vis Gnahoré to unlock the score by lobbing the goalkeeper, before Traoré converts a penalty in two times. The revolt of the visitors is too timid: from start to finish, Toulouse will have kept their foot on the ball. Out of inspiration, Albères-Argelès did not provide enough danger to jeopardize the purple success.
> MEN
Captain Ramade’s precious ball recoveries were undoubtedly the reason why the FCAA did not have the slightest dangerous situation. Ntamack and Zuliani, on the wings, combined speed and technique.
The visitors’ midfielder fought a good battle against his Haut-Garonne counterpart and the hinge Mahon from Monaghan-Mendy had a lot to do to avoid a more salty addition.
> THEY SAID
Jean-Christophe Debu (TFC coach): “It’s an important victory against an opponent who also promotes the beautiful game.”
Raphael Girardot (coach of Albères-Argelès): “We couldn’t have hoped for anything good on this uninspired day.”
