FC Toulouse won the French Football Cup for the first time with a shooting match.
The Ligue 1 promoted team clearly won the final at the Stade de France 5-1 (4-0) against defending champions FC Nantes. It was the biggest final win since St. Etienne’s 5-0 win in 1970 – also against Nantes.
In front of 78,000 spectators, Logan Costa (4th/10th) and Thijs Dallinga (23rd/31st) ensured the highest half-time lead in the history of the French Cup finals. After the connection by Ludovic Blas (75./penalty), Zakaria Aboukhlal (79.) put the final point.
Toulouse will therefore take part in the group stage of the Europa League next season. For the club, it was the first major title in the club’s history from a purely legal point of view – the 1957 cup winner of the same name has nothing to do with today’s FC Toulouse.
Record winner Paris St. Germain had already failed in the round of 16 at Olympique Marseille.
