After a failed introduction on Saturday 22 August against Dunkirk (0-1 defeat), TFC was already obliged to collect points in Grenoble. Mission failed, the Violets lost 5-3 against Grenoble at the Stade des Alpes, at the end of a disappointing collective performance.

The weeks go by and look the same on the banks of the Garonne. Toulouse Football Club lost 5-3 this Saturday, August 29 in Grenoble, a match counting for the second day of Ligue 2, fueling a series of nine consecutive defeats in official competition. Despite an offensive animation present, the TFC was too undisciplined behind conceding three of five goals from a corner. The Violets returned empty-handed from Isère, when they already had the need to take the three points. Not enough to gain confidence before the international break, which will nevertheless give Patrice Garande time to work on the failing sectors.

"I have three feelings: disappointment, anger and hope (...) When you take three goals on set pieces, it's complicated to win" said the Toulouse coach at a conference. post-game.

Far too crumbly defensively, especially from a corner, the Violets fell in Grenoble despite these three goals scored away \ ud83d \ ude14

Unfortunately, the Grenoblois quickly passed the second, playing high and pressing the Toulouse to the recovery. However, the opening comes from a corner, taken by Jessy Benet and taken from the penalty spot by an inspired Loïc Nestor, lodging his ball under the skylight of Maxime Dupé. Four minutes later, in the 16th minute, Yoric Ravet already in sight against Rodez on Saturday August 22, offers Anani a caviar who perfectly fits the TFC porter. It's 2-0 and TFC never gave the impression of being able to pick up the score.

Even when Vakoun Bayo scored his first goal in Ligue 2 in the 30th minute on a very beautiful cross from Deiver Machado, the other recruit in the Toulouse transfer window. The rest is just a recital for Grenoble, which leads 4-1, then 5-2. Antiste manages to keep the flame of low hope by registering a nice bicycle for the 5-3. The penalty missed by Aron Leya Iseka at the end of the match is only one symbol among many others of Toulouse's impotence on this part.

Toulouse satisfaction: Vakoun Bayo

Complicated to award good points after this defensive sinking, nevertheless, Bayo was at ease despite some technical inaccuracies. Active in the air, the former Celtic Glasgow striker scored a brace, allowing his team not to completely sink into this one-sided meeting. Two headed goals, which do not, however, hide its technical shortcomings, sometimes detrimental in the collective sequences.

It should logically be renewed on the front of the attack on September 14 during the third day of Ligue 2, the TFC will receive Sochaux, co-leader of Ligue 2 with Paris FC. On the other hand, we can surely not say the same of Efthymis Kouloúris, little in sight in this part.

The action of the match: Antiste's goal

It came to illuminate a very dark meeting for Toulouse residents, Antiste's bicycle is a model of its kind. Following a ball recovered by Amine Adli, the "Pitchoun" crosses for another "Pitchoun", Antiste, who delivers an acrobatics lodged under the bar of Maubleu. Antiste's first professional goal allows the Violets to close the gap to 5-3, but is insufficient to give TFC the point of the draw.
