A dramatic encounter unfolded at Roazhon Park last night as Toulouse emerged victorious over Rennes in the Coupe de la Ligue 8th Finals, winning 3-1.
Toulouse, with a relentless attacking style, looked dangerous from the kickoff, grabbing a pair of goals in the first half. Ben Yedder bagged a brace, netting in the 13th and 32nd minutes. Rennes, despite putting up a spirited fight, found themselves trailing by two goals at the break.
Rennes fought back hard in the second half. A penalty kick conversion by Diagne in the 57th minute cut the deficit. The match exploded to a new dimension in the final stages of the game. Toulouse's Regattin added another goal, making it 3-1 in the 84th minute. The match was indeed a rollercoaster with a flurry of substitutions from both sides at critical points.
While Rennes put in a good performance, Toulouse’s sharper finishing and tactical adjustments proved decisive. Ultimately, the Toulouse team displayed the consistency and attacking prowess necessary to prevail in this intense match.
