Fast-scoring Dutchmen with Toulouse to the semi-finals of the French Cup | Foreign football

After ten minutes it was already 3-0 in the Stade de Toulouse by goals from Zakaria Aboukhlal, Branco van den Boomen and Thijs Dallinga. Even before the break, Farès Chaïbi and Gabriel Suazo had already lifted the score to 5-0, which seemed to be a monster score.

As so often, after such a big score, less goals were scored in the second half. Dallinga made it 6-0 six minutes after the break from a penalty kick, but Rodez did something back via Wilitty Younoussa in the 69th minute. Dallinga is now on 13 goals in 28 games for Toulouse, which took him over from Excelsior for 2.5 million euros. At the club from Kralingen, the former youth player of FC Emmen and FC Groningen scored no less than 36 times in 44 matches last season, with which he had a large share in the promotion.

Stijn Spierings and Aboukhlal played the entire match, Van den Boomen was replaced at half-time and Dallinga made way for Said Hamulic after an hour, who played for Quick Boys under 21 two years ago.

Toulouse FC returned to Ligue 1 after two years at the second level last summer, where it is now nicely in eleventh place. Midfielders Branco van den Boomen (last season’s best player in Ligue 2) and Stijn Spierings (player with the most ball conquests in Europe this season) got this season with the Gorcum attacker Zakaria Aboukhlal, the Groningen goalkeeper Thijs Dallinga and the Leiderdorp striker Said Hamulic (in joined in January) three more Dutch teammates.

Olympique Lyon was the first club to qualify for the semi-finals on Tuesday evening with a 2-1 win over Grenoble Foot. FC Nantes won against RC Lens tonight with the same figures. At 9 p.m., Olympique Marseille will play the last quarter final against Annecy at home. Marseille eliminated Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round.
