Held in check on home soil last Saturday by the Parisian leader (2-2), Laval, casually, played big in Toulouse last night. Especially since the Mayennais traveled without their goalkeeper and captain Louis Marquet, but also without Guirio, Ivo and Bilal Bakkali.
However, the competition did not last long. So, as much as last year, the Toulouse residents had extended the reprieve until half-time (0-0), so, in this second weekend of November, things did not drag on. Not only did El Mesrar start on the same basis (0-1, 5′) as against Sporting Club de Paris, but Lutin offered himself the luxury of a cool-headed lob (0-2, 9′) . And when the Toulouse avant-garde managed to cross the curtain, as was the case with Issam Ahssen at the very end of the first act, then Jules Amiard pulled out the stop, keeping Laval far in front.
“One of our best matches”
Laval increased its lead after the break. Mohammed improved a serve from El Mesrar (0-3, 22′), Napoles pushed the ball into the empty goal (0-4, 23′). The Stellists had flown away.
“I think it was one of our best matches of the season, savors winger Diego Napoles (29), author of a double. We managed our strong and weak moments well, we stayed really focused throughout. »
As you might have guessed, suspense will hardly have reigned supreme. Napoles (32′) and El Mesrar (40′) finished the job when the losers still saved their honor, through Ramalho Reis. The Laval ogres have finally signed their first feast this season in Division 1.
“We were all affected, likes Milo Morice, the 21-year-old winger. Whether it was the old guys or the young guys, we all raised our level of play. We gave everything in defense and offensively, it went well. We managed to quickly score and take cover too. It was a great match. The score is logical, we were not put in difficulty. Honestly, it went really well. We left nothing in Toulouse. »
