Decisive figure propels Toulouse past Nice | OneFootball

Santiago Hidalgo broke it open in the seventh minute with a crisp finish, setting Toulouse on their way to a 5-1 win over Nice. The forward later added a second to cap a standout display.

Hidalgo's opener came from an incisive run to the near post, sweeping in Aron Donnum's pass to punish Les Aiglons.

Before the break he forced another save with a firm effort from inside the box (33.).

After the restart he struck again, arriving to finish from Frank Magri's square ball (55.).

He finished with three attempts, all on target, and seven touches in the box, plus 15 accurate passes from 17, underlining constant threat between the lines.

Toulouse rise from eighth to seventh in Ligue 1. They visit Brest next. Les Aiglons host Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League next.
