Toulouse-Lens: Diouf cleared the top corner, Sierro dashed his team's hopes... the hits and the flops

TOPS

The RC Lens midfielder allowed his team to breathe quickly after returning from the locker room. With a sublime volley, the Sangs et Or player sent the ball with his right foot into the back of the net for Guillaume Restes who could do nothing with this pure strike. He then continued to provoke the opposing defense with his runs or his openings. Often just in his transmissions he delivered a solid performance to lead his team to a major success in the ranking.

The Lensoise defense never weakened throughout this meeting. After spending a lackluster first 10 minutes, the northern bloc never failed to align perfectly. Sometimes overwhelmed, the latter always ended up coming back and catching up with the Toulouse attackers who had great difficulty expressing themselves in this meeting. On TFC's set pieces, the defense was always on the ball and cleared their side, sometimes in an unacademic manner, but that allowed them to breathe.

FLOPS

Elye Wahi had difficulty weighing on this Toulouse defense. Little found in the feet in the first period, he had difficulty getting away to go behind the latter as well. After Pereira Da Costa's first goal (0-1, 41st), the Frenchman began to try more things. He gets a good free kick and has a break point in the next action. But he forgets his partner in a two-on-one situation and doesn't even frame his attempt before the break (45th 2nd). Returning from the locker room he tries to get ahead of the opposing defense but he is not as sharp as usual.

The TFC captain missed the penalty for hope 10 minutes from time. Vincent Sierro took responsibility by taking this penalty but his attempt failed on Brice Samba's bar. Illustrating the lack of realism of Toulouse during this meeting, his strike definitively condemned his team. In the match, he also did not shine in midfield and was often caught by several opposing players who were unable to create gaps. It's not just his fault that Toulouse lost this evening but he failed to give a good end to the match for an entire Stadium which was just waiting for that.
