Toulouse 2 - OM 0

At the 29th minute, Marcelinho goes back toward his own goal with the ball, and actually ends up dribbling in the box because of the pressure from Toulouse. Just when he's finally trying to kick the ball away, Moreau steals the ball from here. Marcelinho fouls him, and the penalty kick is shot by Petrovic past Trévisan.

Revault throws the ball toward the middle of the field, where Ingesson gets it. The swedish giant volleys it in the general direction of Trévisan, or probably where he thought he'd fine N'Gotty. Unfortunately, he's actually giving a perfect pass to Petrovic. The Croatian forward scores again, with his right foot.

Goals 1 - 0 Petrovic (30th, right foot, penalty kick)
2 - 0 Petrovic (35th, right foot)

Player of the game: Just like in St Etienne, no OM player was all that good in this game, although Gallas and Abardonado, in central defense, didn't make any mistake and actually brought something on offense. Trévisan and N'Gotty also were mistake-less. As for Dahou and Pouget, it's just a shame they didn't get the ball more, as young Karim Dahou, in particular, although he only touched the ball 5 or 6 times in 50 minutes of play, was dangerous every time.
