[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Moussa Sissoko made a first goal for Toulouse after a good team work on the penalty box . This goal was predicted as a winning goal for Toulouse .[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]However , on the second half , Jean Fernandez planned wider scheme . Then , on 68th minute , Maxime Bourgois payed it all . Because of this equalizer , both of them had to play more than 120 minutes , and the crowd might watch the drama .[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The drama was really dramatic . Toulouse fans almost couldn't believe they missed the two first strike . On the other hand , Julien Quercia & Cedric Hengbart made sure AJ Auxerre got their first two penalty . Finally , the match was ended with 4-2 on penalty shoot-out or 5-3 on aggregate .[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Manager Notes :[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]This is why sometimes I hate drama . We just didn't get the lucky on the shoot-out . However , I make sure that I will give more focus on the rest of the competition and hoping at least one trophy for the fans .[/FONT]

However , after a good management on some youngsters that I loan like Ritchie De Laet and Marquinhos, I believe I could make Gilles career go better .[/FONT]
