00:00After a great win over Lens, and of course the Coupe de France final is still over a month away.

00:05For Toulouse, this is definitely not one to lose.

00:12Diawana brought in, asked to do the job,

00:15when the club took the fairly ruthless decision to dispense with Luka Elzner

00:19after the defeat at the start of February against Nantes.

00:25It has not been smooth going either before or since that moment

00:29as they've battled their way along through the Coupe run in quite extraordinary fashion.

00:34But two very significant results recently, beating Marseille here and the win at Lens.

00:41And that has lifted their sights toward mid-table.

00:46But they need to keep it going.

00:48Toulouse were going along fairly serenely until this run of four defeats.

00:52They need to put a stop to that.

00:54And they get us underway in the Stade de Lune on this glorious sunny.

01:08Through the wall.

01:10That seemed to be hit with a little bit of fade or maybe there was a deflection on it.

01:14I think the latter.

01:15So a corner earned by Sierro.

01:17He's so confident.

01:23I'm happy he didn't have to make the save there.

01:25I think he's just trying to clever one through the little gap in the wall.

01:29He's very capable.

01:30A little bit.

01:472,024 so at least he's getting longer in the job.

01:51But his side are under pressure again.

01:53On the edge of the box the chance comes.

01:55A great stop.

01:55But he needed to make another one.

01:59And in space on the edge of the box like that.

02:02He really fancies himself.

02:05And that is something that Rouse need to watch very closely indeed today.

02:11So clever there through the legs of Kip Ray.

02:13So Toulouse testing out Rouse's defensive lines early on.

02:31And now he has it.

02:32Again it's a bit too easy perhaps for Rouse's liking.

02:37Trying to work the opportunity.

02:39And it's well seen by Diouf who's staying cool.

02:43But it is Toulouse.

02:43Looks a little bit of a mismatch quite honestly.

02:50That's one against Sangui.

02:51Goalkeeper on the stretch.

02:52And that was very very nearly.

02:55Very costly indeed.

02:57Be aware of that Toulouse.

02:58Rouse lifted.

02:59Now the little bit of pace.

03:01Can be so damaging.

03:03Arms all over the attacking player.

03:06Now is the decision in or out?

03:07And what is the card's colour?

03:09It's a red card.

03:10And the game is opened up.

03:12That's a huge decision by Bollonger.

03:22In terms of the man-to-man confrontations.

03:26So now Swazor.

03:29Oh he's bounced all the way through.

03:31And flying leap by Diouf.

03:33More to do.

03:34Another flying leap by Diouf.

03:35Put as much height on the first one as he could.

03:43But the first tour he had was Magri with that header.

03:46And that is not an easy header.

03:47He missed the first one.

03:48But he was still awake when it comes back in here.

03:51The number nine.

03:57After Sierra.

03:58Going to the one who's forced the big moment in this game.

04:01The sending off.

04:03Hakimi.

04:07Diouf seems to like it from what we can hear.

04:10The Rouse coach.

04:11And he does like that.

04:13Nakamura slightly further forward.

04:16Hakimi.

04:18Another go.

04:19Better looking cross.

04:20Opening goal comes.

04:23And what a moment it is.

04:25For a player who's been out of form and out of sorts.

04:28But back at Rouse.

04:30Is this the start of something big?

04:32Sebaccio has got it.

04:33Yes.

04:41Against the run of play.

04:43But they found a way at last rounds to exploit their man advantage.

04:47And it's taken some time.

04:53Better cross.

04:54That is not an easy finish.

04:56Ito moves on to it.

05:06If he gets going it's a different game today.

05:09And it's going to need to be watched by Akdaj.

05:10Same is true of course of Nakamura.

05:13Cresswell goes along with it for Toulouse.

05:16Different shape to the game suddenly.

05:18Mentally as well as in terms of the numbers and the tactics.

05:21Oh there's a terrible mistake by Sakina.

05:23They might pay for it.

05:24But it's such a tame effort from Gabaya.

05:27Had a fairly charmed life in this first half.

05:32Rouse have had quite a charmed life quite honestly.

05:35But big turning points went their way.

05:38Descending off of McKenzie.

05:42So here we go.

05:44This could yet turn out to be a very important significant day in the season.

05:50As a starter who's a substitute last week.

05:52And substituted off sacrifice.

05:54He must be feeling pretty sorry for himself.

05:56Who can blame him?

05:58I might argue the referee got slightly in the way.

06:00But here comes Sierra.

06:01Still Sierra.

06:02It's wide.

06:03We've seen a lot of that from Diouf today.

06:09Imploring.

06:14In the...

06:15We'll come back to that in a moment.

06:18Because Ito finally breaks past a couple of people.

06:21Let's go and rock it onto the crossbar.

06:23Ito finally comes to life.

06:26Here he goes.

06:27That shift in possession is so, so good.

06:31He hits it so hard that the crossbar is bouncing and bouncing after it.

06:36A little double shift.

06:39A lot of his tricks have gone wrong today.

06:41But he's a magician, isn't he?

06:44Drive Rouse forward now.

06:48What a goal it would have been.

06:51People are still...

06:52And now maybe a moment for Nakamura.

06:59Toulouse are stretched.

07:01Rest to the rescue.

07:05From the back to the front.

07:07A little slow to regroup perhaps.

07:08Toulouse had a long, long time.

07:10Nakamura.

07:11Could he have cut across a little bit more to make the angle easier for himself?

07:14Came in the cup semi-final.

07:18What a way to start against Cannes.

07:22Sent on today to get a goal in Ligue 1.

07:37That touch.

07:39Did well with that.

07:42Here come Toulouse.

07:44Aboukalal.

07:46Reversed it nicely.

07:47Oh, unlucky.

07:49Wide by Magri.

07:53Next ball in is a teaser.

07:56Goalkeeper in a real tackle.

07:57Toulouse must score.

07:58They have.

07:59But it won't count.

08:01It's offside.

08:04What relief that is for Rouse.

08:07The goalkeeper, Diouf, who's been so good for so much of this today.

08:12Sidibe is trying to debate the finer points of this.

08:15The goalkeeper was never, never getting there.

08:18That might be the match-winning intervention.

08:21Goodness me, he has been a busy man in goal today.

08:28Rouse, one step closer to rescue.

08:31See you.

08:33See you.

08:33Back to Dester.

08:35See you.

08:37Back to Dester.

08:37See you.

08:38All right.

08:39I'll see you.

08:39All right.

08:39Back to Dester.

08:40See you.
