Ounas' score

What a game from Adam Ounas!

In addition to having scored the winning goal on a formidable volley in pivot after a perfect call on the opening of Benjamin André (53rd), the Algerian international had a considerable offensive impact in the animation of Lille.

Fast and clean on the right side, he played Issiaga Sylla on several occasions.

With 72% of successful passes, Ounas also caused three fouls and framed all of his shots.

If LOSC proved to be so dangerous on most of their opportunities, it is also thanks to the former Neapolitan who perfectly set fire to his right wing, coming to assist Jonathan David in the area by returning in the axis when the Canadian picked up.

After Bamba, he is the Lille resident who touched the most balls this Saturday evening.

Van den Boomen tried everything

True to himself, Branco Van den Boomen made his technical qualities speak for themselves as a playmaker. With 90% of successful passes, the Dutchman managed to offer some nice patties to Thijs Dallinga in the middle or even to his compatriot Zakaria Aboukhlal.

He is the most consistent Toulousain in the game, he never stopped moving forward, raising his block to play attacking.

Unfortunately, his teammates failed to be effective in front of the cages of Lucas Chevalier, or even in the air while "VDB" was nevertheless responsible for taking the seven corners of the TFC.

FLOPS

Fonte's error

Established and captain alongside Leny Yoro (16), José Fonte did not play his role as an experienced mentor in the best possible way.

He committed a total of three fouls and lost half of his duels.

His five lost balls worried his friends in the Lille defense.

Warned of a yellow card before the break (44th), Fonte did not appear serene and clean in his reminders.

On the Toulouse equalizer, he completely misses his clearance: the ball rolling on his back on the ground, unable to release his defense.

Farès Chaïbi therefore took the opportunity to deceive Lucas Chevalier in the skylight.

Toulouse's lack of realism

Despite the setback, Toulouse was not unworthy in this meeting, especially in the first act where the Violets struggled to be effective.

The regrets must be present in the minds of the Toulouse players this Saturday evening.

The offensive animation was generally sorely lacking in accuracy and realism despite a domination of possession (54%) or a greater number of shots attempted (9 shots) during the first period.

Most certainly the positive intentions and phases of the game will satisfy coach Philippe Montanier who can continue to work with an interesting sample.

But Toulouse must learn to conclude their strong moments: for example, Zakaria Aboukhlal, author of a rather correct match, attempted five shots but only framed two.
