Toulouse keep chances alive with home win
Toulouse might not have looked like favourites ahead of their confrontation with Benfica, but tonight, only the lucky ones can guess the outcome of the clash between the two sides.
If the Portuguese side kept up the rhythm in the first half, Toulouse put their feet to the pedal after the break to create a gap on the scoreboard.
And with a four-goal advantage between the two sides halfway through, Toulouse can still dream of a quarter-finals ticket.
The task wasn't easy and it was difficult to find solutions. We had some problems in defense in the first half, we lost balls and they took the advantage to halftime. In the second half, we try to change something in defense, our goalkeeper performed well and all with the help of this crowd; the arena was amazing.
We couldn’t stop the fast break, they played good and very fast. We also made some mistakes and they scored easy goals. We will be here at home for the 2nd game and we'll give everything to advance to the next round.
