“Dayann Methalie opened the scoring for Toulouse, giving the hosts an early lead that set the tone for a tense and combative evening.”
Pivotal“Corentin Tolisso pulled Lyon level with a composed finish, threatening to shift the contest entirely in the visitors' favour after they had dominated possession for much of the second half.”
Pivotal“Warren Kamanzi, introduced from the bench less than twenty minutes earlier, struck to put Toulouse back in front, capitalising on Lyon's disorganisation and converting to make it 2-1 — a goal that proved to be the winner.”

Outstanding performance
Toulouse•AttackerToulouse pulled off a disciplined, gritty victory against an Olympique Lyonnais side that dominated the ball but ultimately undid themselves with ill-discipline and wastefulness in front of goal. Lyon enjoyed 61% possession and fashioned 18 shots to Toulouse's 14, yet managed only three on target compared to six from the hosts — a damning indictment of their finishing. Toulouse went ahead through Dayann Methalie in the tenth minute and looked set to hold on, but Corentin Tolisso's equaliser on 71 minutes briefly threatened to shift the momentum. Instead, it was the visitors who collapsed: Aron Dønnum collected a second yellow card just eight minutes later, reducing Lyon to ten men, and substitute Warren Kamanzi punished them immediately with the winner in the 78th minute. For Toulouse, it is a result that will do wonders for their confidence; for Lyon, a chaotic evening of fouls, arguments, and profligate finishing raises serious questions about their composure at a critical stage of the season.
