The historic feat of Toulouse!

Two weeks ago, Téfécé was no match, at Anfield, against the Reds who were remodeled but superior in all areas of the game (1-5). Revengeful, the Toulouse residents achieved a historic feat by bringing down this heavyweight of European football. Dönnum broke the deadlock (1-0, 34th), before Dallinga, as usual, took the break after returning from the locker room (2-0, 58th).
An own goal from Casseres gave hope to the Reds (2-1, 74th), but Magri allowed Téfécé to take off immediately (3-1, 76th). The reduction in Jota’s score at the end of the match is an anecdote (3-2, 89th). At the heart of a season without relief, Toulouse finally produced a major performance. A major feat to definitively launch this campaign.
