Already guaranteed to join Ligue 1 next year, Toulouse will have to wait a little longer before being officially crowned French Ligue 2 champions after their 1-0 defeat at Rodez on Monday in the closing match of the 36th day.

Against all expectations, it was Laurent Peyrelade's men who opened the scoring thanks to the penalty converted by Ruthenian defender Bradlay Danger, in the 65th minute, to the delight of their 1,500 supporters present in the stands of the Paul-Lignon stadium. .

See you at the Stadium on Saturday

Two days from the end of the championship, Téfécé remains stuck at 76 points, five points ahead of Ajaccio who can mathematically still dream of the title.

The Violets, certainly deprived of their striker Rhys Healey, top scorer in the championship, affected by adductors, can blame themselves, they who had acquired their rise in Ligue 1 after their victory over Niort (2-0) a week ago .

They sang throughout the match outside the stadium and more than an hour after the final whistle they are still there to accompany the departure of their team.

A Monday evening in Rodez.
