If Toulouse
remained on two consecutive losses against ogres of this championship, in Paris and Monaco, the formation of Carles Martinez Novell had shown all its qualities at the Stadium, in recent weeks, to give itself some air and make a spectacular rise in the ranking .

It is therefore with the costume of legitimate favorite that Téfécé approached this match against AS Saint-Etienne, this Friday evening, at the opening of the 15th day of Ligue 1. On the verge of the abyss, the Greens, sixteenth at the start sending, were also weighed down by a real massacre.

The Greens overthrown, despite progress

Olivier Dall’Oglio therefore had to rack his brains to concoct a unique eleven. Mitigating circumstances which have definitively weighed down ASSE. Too fragile defensively, lacking inspiration in their offensive initiatives, the Greens were unable to resist this Toulouse team sure of its strength.

However, it was the visitors who broke the deadlock with an opportunistic goal from Stassin after returning from the locker room (0-1, 53rd), but Babicka allowed Téfécé to have no doubts by equalizing straight away (1-1, 55th) . And Martinez Novell’s men managed to win at the very end of the match with a perfect helmet hit from Aboukhlal (2-1, 85th)0

Toulouse makes a small temporary jump in the first part of the table. Saint-Etienne could plunge into the red zone this weekend.
