Review of the match Toulouse - Union:
Toulouse and Union Saint-Gillois played a very competitive and tense UEFA Europa League match at the Stade de Toulouse, which ended in a goalless draw. Both teams showed determination and skill throughout the game, but ultimately failed to score. The first notable incident in the match occurred in the 15th minute when Union Saint-Gillois player K. Vanhoutte received a yellow card for a careless challenge. The referee saw fit to penalise him and remind him of the importance of fair play. Another yellow card followed in the 34th minute, this time for K. Mc Allister of Union St Gillois. As the match moved into the second half, tensions began to rise. In the 56th minute, Union St Gillois player M. Amoura received a yellow card for an untimely attack. Soon after, Toulouse player V. Sierro received a yellow card in the 57th minute, emphasising the physicality and intensity of the game. In the 66th minute, both managers made simultaneous substitutions: Toulouse brought on G. Suazo instead of F. Magri, while Union Saint-Gillouaz introduced M. Rasmussen instead of L. Amani. It was a bold move from both sides to bring fresh energy and ideas to break the deadlock.
In the 66th minute, Union St Giloise made another substitution, with C. Rodriguez replacing G. Nilsson in an attempt to gain an advantage over their opponents.
