After their first official outing in Tarn-et-Garonne on Saturday, July 25th, the Violets were up against a solid La Liga team, the 10th-placed Real Sociedad at the end of May. The final score was 2-1 in favor of the locals. Let's revisit the match for you!
Two goals in the first half were enough for Toulouse FC to secure their victory over the robust Spanish side on Friday evening, at the heart of the Pyrenees. And thus, they signed their first win of the season after a 1-1 draw last week against RAF (L2) in Montauban.
A victory that was very Argentine as both goals were scored by Vignolo (1-0, 32nd minute) and Hidalgo (2-1, 45+4th minute); two finishers inside the box. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad equalized on a set-piece and a brilliant free-kick from the former Paris SG midfielder Carlos Soler (1-1, 35th minute).
In the second half, the debates decreased in intensity. Not helped by the numerous substitutions after the hour mark in both camps as well as a deteriorating pitch. Nevertheless, Toulouse FC's 'three points' seem deserved – particularly regarding their intent of play. For this, new TFC coach Jens Berthel Askou had stuck with his 4-2-3-1 formation, which proved to be solid in defense and inspired in attack.
Next Match: 1,000 Kilometers from the Pink City
Next up on Wednesday, August 5 at 7 PM. And this will be in Spain, in Murcia, during the pre-season training camp against Al-Ain as TFC's opponent. A promising match awaits.
