At the end of the twenty-ninth day of Ligue 1, the LOSC has a fragile advantage at the break during its trip to Toulouse, leading with a score of 2 to 1. Despite this advantage, coach Alexsandro did not hide his immediate dissatisfaction, pointing to a difficult start for his team. The match was marked by several crucial moments, including two unsuccessful attempts on the poles, before an opportunistic goal by Matías Fernández-Pardo, the result of a defensive error, allowed the Dogues to take the ascendant. The goals of Charlie Cresswell and Mitchel Bakker then brought the score back to the status quo, suggesting a second potentially decisive half.

When questioned by the DAZN teams, Alexsandro acknowledged Toulouse’s superiority at the beginning of the game, while welcoming the defensive serenity and physical presence of his players, which reduced the pressure after the opening of the score. He also expressed the need for a discussion with the technical staff in order to improve the team’s performance during the recovery, stressing the importance of approaching the second period with increased intensity. The Brazilian coach made it clear that better performance would be needed to ensure victory.

For his part, the Toulouse scorer, Charlie Cresswell, conceded that his team had suffered two goals resulting from individual mistakes, making the situation particularly difficult. His brief intervention demonstrates palpable frustration within the Toulouse team, faced with a mixed result at the break of a crucial meeting. The game will therefore be exciting for the rest, with important stakes for both teams.
