This is the fifth setback in a row away from Toulouse, who have not won on the road since October 2 in Biarritz.
Two points only taken from the last 20 put into play: this is the sad balance sheet of Ugo Mola's men, who could lose sight of the leading trio while seeing their pursuers return depending on the other results of the day.
It is however a real breath of fresh air for the Catalans, who remained on four defeats in their last five games, including two consecutive in their den of Aimé Giral.
This sixth victory of the season allows the USAP to continue to believe in maintenance.
The Toulousains completely missed their start to the match by conceding three tries in the first twenty minutes (19-3, 20).
Returning at the start of the second half thanks to a try from their young hooker Guillaume Cramont (19-13, 46), Toulouse finally gave up their arms twenty minutes from time after Sofiane Guitoune's yellow card which the Catalans immediately took advantage of. (29-13).
The Sang et Or, clearly superior, then offered their first offensive bonus of the season.
Four defeats in a row in the league: this had not happened to Toulouse since April 2017. The situation is becoming worrying for a team which will still have to do without its many internationals in its next five games.
