Toulouse made the trip to Stade Marie-Marvingt on Friday, 16 October 2026 and left with a comfortable 0-3 win over Le Mans. The first half gave little hint of what was coming, with both sides cautious and the game goalless at the break. Whatever was said in the away dressing room at half-time clearly worked, because Toulouse came out a different side after the interval and took control of the match. The goals arrived in the second period as Le Mans simply couldn't find a way to cope with the pressure being applied. Three unanswered goals told the story of a game that swung entirely one way once the second half got going. For Le Mans, there will be questions to answer after failing to lay a glove on their opponents when it mattered, while Toulouse will head home pleased with a professional away performance built on a strong second-half showing.
