gabriel suazo He still had the opportunity to add minutes with Toulouse during his team’s 3-1 victory over Reims in the match valid for the knockout stages of the Coupe de France. The Chilean was a starter and had active participation throughout the engagement .
In the first stage, the duel was fairly even for the first 20 minutes. In any case, the team of the former Colo Colo managed to generate clear danger games, although the first was favorable to the visit. In the 4th minute, Folarin Balogun fired a powerful shot from distance that forced the keeper to stretch, who managed to send the shot for a corner.
Already at 17 came the first clear answer from Toulouse. Thijs Dallinga received a good pass and finished over the crossbar. Then, at minute 22, Dallinga himself ran into the right sector and forced the keeper into cover to send the ball in from a key corner. .
After the corner kick, Stijn Spierings fired a shot that hit the post which ended up upsetting goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf who ended up sending the ball into his own arc to spark the hosts’ celebration. .
The marker moved again to 35′. After a clearly squandered chance that could have meant an equaliser, Toulouse developed a quick counter-attack in the right area. Spierings handed the ball to Moroccan Zakaria Aboukhlal who with a subtle touch managed to prevent the keeper from going off at the edge of the box and finished before two defenders came to clear the ball. .
During all these minutes, the work of Gabriel Suazo was much more dedicated to defensive tasks than to attack, although in any case, when the game allowed it, he reached the rival area to show himself as an alternative pass.
Due to the disadvantage, Reims ended up leaving a lot of space in the defensive zone and this situation allowed for another risky play late in the first leg. Dallinga went hand in hand with the goalkeeper, but the latter managed to react to avoid the goal .
Already in the second half with the need to make discounts soon, Reims advanced their lines and in the first 15 minutes of the plugin they took center stage. The visiting team managed to find spaces all over the attacking front, but they ended up suffering from the same.
After a recovery in their own area, the Toulouse once again took advantage of the spaces. Branco van den Boomen had the precision to send a direct cross to the position of Fares Chaibi who, with a header, managed to beat the resistance of Diouf again, making the score 3-0 .
The shed just arrived in the 89’s. Kaj Sierhuis reached the penalty area and handed the ball to Jens Cadjust to score, although he couldn’t stop the party that was going on at the municipal stadium in Toulouse at the time.
With this result, Gabriel Suazo’s team managed to surpass what was done in the last edition of the Coupe de France, a case where they ended up losing in that same round against Versailles.
Now, they will have to wait for the draw that will take place tomorrow to determine which team they will face in the quarter-finals. .
