One super-sub wins it for Toulouse against Lorient | OneFootball

Emersonn settled the game in the 81st minute with a right-footed strike from a tight angle, giving Toulouse a 1-0 win over Lorient.

Introduced from the bench, Emersonn burst into the right channel and fired into the top-right corner (81.) after a neat pass from Cristian Casseres.

In the seventh minute of second half stoppage time, he drew another save from Yvon Mvogo with a left-footed effort from the left side of the box. Moments later, he broke again and teed up Mário Sauer, whose shot went just wide.

He finished with three attempts, all on target, and created one big chance. Two successful dribbles and three possession regains underlined how his direct running and intensity changed the game's rhythm.

Because Toulouse's shape left space down Lorient's right, his diagonal, hard-running movements repeatedly pulled defenders out and gave the hosts a clean outlet in transition.

Toulouse rise from 11th to ninth ahead of a trip to Paris Saint-Germain next. Lorient drop from ninth to 11th and host Paris FC next.
