(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) Toulouse lifted their first major trophy by thrashing Nantes in
the French Cup final.
Philippe Montanier's side led 2-0 within 10 minutes through a
Logan Costa double and 4-0 after 31 minutes after two goals by
Thijs Dallinga.
Ludovic Blas pulled one back for holders Nantes, who are in
Ligue 1 relegation trouble.
But Toulouse, who were promoted last season, got a fifth thanks
to Zakaria Aboukhlal's long-range strike.
It was the biggest French Cup final victory since 1970 when
Saint-Etienne beat Nantes 5-0 - the year Toulouse were formed.
A team called Toulouse FC won the 1957 French Cup, but they
disappeared 10 years later in a merger with Paris side Red Star and
are considered a different club.
