It's back to Gerland!
Still 40 minutes in this meeting between LOU and Stade Toulousain. Lyon is seven points ahead at the moment!
LE LOU IN FRONT OF Toulouse AT THE BREAK
It’s the break at Gerland! LOU leads 14-7 against Stade Toulousain thanks to the boot of Leo Berdeu and a try before the break from Monty Ioane. Showered by an early try from Graou, Lyon grabbed points, taking advantage of Toulouse's mistakes before planting a stab just before half-time.
IOAAAANE’S TEST AT THE BREAK!
LOU counterattacks with a low kick that forces Capuozzo to the ground. He gets the ball blasted by Niniashvili and Ioane throws himself to score in the corner! The test is validated on the video after a few minutes of viewing.
The huge charges of Bituniyata and Ainu'u
But what a monstrous charge from Bituniyata who escapes from one, two and three tackles before serving Ainu'u who also charges at the horn! It doesn't go any further, but a real demonstration of power.
The LOU is progressing well
Oh the good combination of LOU with Saginadze who manages to find Ioane launched and in the interval! All the big players from Lyon touch the ball but it is lost!
Radradra lets his genius speak
Radradra finally makes his rods speak on 30 meters and above all an incredible hand with a chistera in the right tempo for Niniashvili. The Georgian is taken back!
Toulouse is making progress
For around ten minutes, Stade Toulousain has dominated the duels but has not managed to convert this domination.
Saito strikes for Toulouse
It's Toulouse's turn to camp in front of the Lyon goal but Saito, who recently came on, commits a handball.
There's a clash between the two teams
The debates heated up with Castro Ferreira pulled to the ground and manhandled by Geraci. The video doesn't show anything extraordinary but there was a scuffle.
Kinghorn misses the goal again
Penalty against LOU and Radradra for a voluntary advance while Toulouse had crossed through Graou! Points are requested. Kinghorn misses three points, 9-7.
Lots of inaccuracies from the start
Both teams have real good intentions in the game but many hand mistakes taint this desire.
Everyone has possession
Nice ball recovery from Toulouse with Bituniyata twirling but the ball is lost again on a candle. The LOU leaves with Monty Ioane and the game stops again.
BERDEU GIVES THE ADVANTAGE TO LOU
Toulouse is punished a lot with Jelonch leaving too early on a ball outing. Leo Berdeu can allow LOU to go in front… and does it perfectly, 9-7!
LE LOU COMES BACK TO A SMALL POINT IN TOULOUSE!
New penalty against Stade Toulousain with illicit support from Castro-Ferreira. Couilloud indicates the poles, Berdeu does so. 7-6, more than a point ahead for Toulouse.
Toulouse is doing very well
Ball carried controlled by Toulouse who forces Matavesi to escape from the maul and commit a forward. Graou clears his camp at the foot!
Toulouse still penalized
A bad throw from Mauvaka gives LOU ammunition which sends the forwards into penetration but it will be a new penalty for Lyon!
Lavanini watches Graou
Twice in 10 minutes, Tomas Lavanini came against Graou who was trying to clear upwind. Be careful, it doesn't do anything at the moment!
GRAOU IS ALREADY SHOWERING LOU!
The clever Graou quickly played a penalty and obtained another for having been tackled less than 10 meters away… No matter, Toulouse played on the wing of Bituniyata who overflowed and finally offered the try to Paul Graou! Kinghorn loses, 7-3!
LOU TAKES THE ADVANTAGE!
We therefore return to a penalty for the LOU for a Toulouse offside, hit by Leo Berdeu. The Lyon opener sets off and scores the first points, 3-0!
Huge stamp on Couilloud
While LOU has possession of the ball, Couilloud ejects but takes a big, fairly high stamp from Ainu'u but he takes the bust.
Kinghorn misses first attempt
The right pillar Ainsley is penalized in the scrum and it is Blair Kinghorn who will take the goal at 50 meters… The Scot rushes and misses the target!
An already chaotic melee
First scrum in the center of the field introduction Couilloud but there are difficulties in holding this scrum. The referee intervenes.
