It's a match to forget. Faced with a Lyon team in great difficulty in the championship, Toulouse could not do better than a draw (17-17) at Lyonfor the 12th day of Top 14, this Sunday, December 22 at the Stade Gerland. Story of the match.
A timid start and a gunners' duel
This is the effect Toulouse Stadiummore than 32,000 spectators filled the stands to watch the clash between the leader and the penultimate in the championship. The match began with a missed penalty by Blair Kinghorn (5th), shooter during the rest of Thomas Ramos and Romain Ntamack. More skillful, Léo Berdeu scored the first points of this match on a set piece (8th), after an offside. Fortunately, Paul Graou answers him, starting and finishing a great action played quickly after penalty (10ᵉ). Kinghorn transforms.
However, the penalties are increasing against visitors and Léo Berdeu rings twice (17ᵉ, 19ᵉ), to give his team the advantage. While Blair Kinghorn misses a penalty again. Mathis Castro-Ferreira must go out with an injury after attracting the wrath of three Lyon players, far from the game, who escape without sanction after the use of the video (28th). After a whole phase without concrete action, Monty Loane flattened into a corner just after the sound of the siren blaring the end of the period (40e+1). Halftime score: 14-7
A tight end to the match
The restart began in the pouring rain and with flying colors, while Davit Niniashvili failed to score after a run and a good play at the foot of Baptiste Couilloud (4e). Léo Berdeu gives a layer on penalty (50e), but Blair Kinghorn does the same (60ᵉ) after Steve Blanc-Mappaz was issued with a yellow card for having deliberately hit the oval. It is finally Theo Ntamack who gives charge of the revolt. After a touch a few meters away, the Occitan maul allows the third line to equalize in a corner (64e). However, the locals seek the feat, first with a ball from Léo Berdeu which grazes the post (67e) then by an offensive from Martin Méliande (69e).
The tension builds as the minutes tick by. Ange Capuozzo is kept on the ground for long seconds, his head stuck in his t-shirt. No sanction results from this. The Italian is even penalized for unnecessary scratching and Léo Berdeu misses another free kick in the process (75e). The two teams ultimately cannot decide between themselves.
