Toulouse, France, April 25, 2022 (AFP) - Toulouse secured promotion back to Ligue 1 with a 2-0 win over Niort on Monday, two years after they were relegated from France's top flight.

Brecht Dejaeghere and Ado Onaiwu got the goals that ensured Ligue 2 leaders Toulouse are guaranteed one of the two automatic promotion places.

Toulouse, who are under new ownership and were cheered on by a 24,000 crowd, are now 11 points clear of third-placed Auxerre, who cannot catch them in their remaining three matches.
