No Comments After four unsuccessful first preparation matches – a draw against FC Andorra (D2 ESP, 0-0) and three losses against Montpellier (1-3), the Germans of Werder Bremen (2-5) and the English of Norwich ( D2, 0-2) -, the TFC of the Spaniard Carles Martinez Novell, former assistant to Philippe Montanier to whom he succeeded as number 1 coach, finally won his first match, this Saturday noon, at the Maurice stadium -Trélut de Tarbes, against Osasuna (2-1). The Spaniards finished 7th in the last Liga and failed in the King’s Cup final (1-2, against Real Madrid). However, this meeting got off to a bad start for the Violets, as they conceded an eleventh goal in five friendly matches in the 3rd minute. Following a bad recovery from the defense, Ibanez took the opportunity to open the scoring with a shot close to the right post by Guillaume Restes, again preferred to Kjetil Haug at kick-off. Which leaves open the question of who will be the titular goalkeeper of the Violets this season. After a fine save, Restes conceded a second goal from a header from Iker Munoz. Goal finally disallowed for offside by referee Jérémy Stinat (17th). Dallinga lance in saison TFC equalized before the break through Thijs Dallinga. Scorer for his first match of the season, the Dutchman, the only player released at half-time for Frank Magri, who made his debut with the Violets, was on a penalty obtained after a Spanish defender repelled a shot from Zakaria Aboukhlal with the hand (34th). The TFC claimed a second, in vain, after an exit from the Spanish goalkeeper Sergio Herrea in the feet of Denis Genreau (54th). Herrera then slammed two close-range headers from Desler and Magri (61st, 62nd). Finally dominating, the Toulouse ended up logically cracking the Rojillos at the last minute. Launched by Magri, author of a good second period, Farès Chaïbi, entered ten minutes earlier, left at the limit of offside to deceive the goalkeeper (90th). Note that the TFC will play a sixth and final warm-up match against the Italians Roma, on Sunday August 6 at 7:30 p.m., at the Stadium. A gala meeting for which more than 17,000 tickets have already been sold. #Winner #Osasuna #Toulouse #finally #wins #preparation
