Two weeks after a heavy defeat at Anfield, Toulouse FC took the scalp of Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool (3-2), Thursday at the Stadium, to find themselves in a favorable position in their Europa League group. Violets supporters will remember this crazy encounter for a long time until the end.
“ On a misunderstanding, it can work », displayed the tifo of the Toulouse ultras, a bit mockingly, with this reference to Tanned people go skiing. But Téfécé left nothing to chance by offering themselves a legendary victory against Liverpool, 3-2, Thursday in a delirious Stadium for this Europa League meeting. The Violets have a great chance of continuing their European season, in the Europa League or in the Conference, since they are second in their group behind the Reds, before receiving Union Saint-Gilloise, a Belgian pursuer which has three points less.
Jürgen Klopp’s team certainly started the match with their usual substitutes, the German coach rotating even more than during the first leg at Anfield (5-1 victory), but the Premier League side missed the mark, failing to control never the part. The people of Toulouse have regularly benefited from it. Aron Donnum first capsized the Haut-Garonne public after having himself recovered the ball from the feet of Konstantinos Tsimikas (36th). The deflected shot surprised Caoimhin Kelleher.
Liverpool’s equalizer in the 97th minute!
It was the second half that was completely crazy. Klopp made the cut, throwing Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah – just that – but everything turned out in favor of the locals. Thijs Dallinga doubled the lead with a magnificent cross shot (58th). The match turned into madness before the last quarter of an hour of play, with the reduction of the gap for the Liverpuldiens, on an improbable csc from Cristian Casseres, absolutely not lucid (74th), and a 3rd goal from Toulouse signed Frank Magri, barely entered the game, who took back with force a ball returned in front of the opposing goal from Gabriel Suarez (74th).
The crowd at the Stadium wasn’t expecting anything more with an absolutely brilliant finish. Diogo Jota brought the score to 3-2 just before added time (89th). Then Jarell Quansah equalized on the last action of the match, in the 97th, before the Bulgarian referee of the game refused this equalization in the 111th minute of the game, for a handball. To the great delight of the Toulouse public.
🟣 IT’S CRAZY WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE STADIUM!
In the wake of the Reds’ score reduction, Toulouse scored a third goal on a flat foot from Frank Magri (3-1)!
