It is in front of a copiously packed platform that the TPF attacks this meeting which could allow it to spend its mini-truce in warmth.
The desire of the Tarbais leaves no room for doubt since from the start the TPF takes the Toulouse residents by the throat and obtains five corners in eight minutes, all at the cost of excellent collective attacks but stopped by a defense which wards off the most urgent. Guillossou, (3rd), Delgado (5th), Fachan (10th), Lecornu (12th); that is to say if this first quarter of an hour is to the advantage of the very inspired locals but who nevertheless fail in the finishing because the opening of the score could and should have taken place during this highlight of a particularly attractive TPF. What does this domination actually matter, without the achievement of its attackers, when a little helping hand from destiny gets involved. The origin of this opening score comes from this incisive rise from Tarbes who came to make the difference on the right side and from his cross in the axis which Kebe will divert into his own goal under pressure from Delgado. (1-0, 30th).
Lucky indeed, but oh so well deserved this inauguration of the planchot. In the following minute Guillossou, certainly believing himself to be out of the game, could have doubled the lead (31st); just like Delgado (37th) or Guira (39th). On one of the rare counterattacks from Toulouse, Hernandez anticipates well with an excellent kick away from his goal (42nd).
At rest, we start to hope that all the opportunities that have been offered to him do not harm this TPF, which is dominating but not killer.
Four minutes of madness
In fact, the second period begins with a bang; on the Toulouse commitment, Ben Brahim recovers the ball and after a giant slalom against spectators from Tarbais, the opposing playmaker comes to beat Hernandez to sign the equalizer, we have been playing for fifteen seconds in the second half (1- 1, 46e). Another throw-in, this time from Tarbes, on which the TPF obtains a free kick Dannfald sticks to it and finds the head of Faty who gives his team the advantage (2-1, 48th).
Toulouse Métropole is much more present in this second act and will demonstrate it by picking up the score in less time than it takes to write it.
At the start a Tarbes ball lost in the restart and at the end Dosso who deceives Hernandez (2-2, 50th). Four minutes of madness which will revive the interest of this meeting which has taken a completely different turn.
The ball goes from one side to the other when a new game occurs from which the TPF will benefit. A more than hazardous exit from Ayangma will allow Delgado to adjust it like pigeon shooting from afar (3-2, 78th). A great Christmas gift from which the Tarbais will benefit because nothing more will be recorded in this meeting which makes the Tarbais dolphins, waiting to become king at the beginning of 2025.
