Van den Boomen lashes an effort from range over, and the hosts will have a goal-kick as they hunt for a precious equaliser.

Haug gets clattered into by Mouanga as the corner comes in and the referee awards the visitors a free-kick.
GOAL!!! Toulouse are back in front!!! A long ball is sent over the Annecy defence, and Temanfo tries to nod it back to his goalkeeper. It is woefully undercooked though, and Chaibi takes full advantage by delicately dinking over Callens and into the net. What an error from the Annecy defender, and the visitors look like they are on their way to the final as they now lead 2-1!
84'
An awkward backpass to Haug skips over his foot and out for an Annecy corner. Can they punish Toulouse's defensive mistake?

43'
Aboukhlal weaves into the box with a mazy run, but Annecy's defence does well to get bodies to him before his shot can get anywhere near the goal.
41'
The next goal in this match is crucial. The hosts really need to score it if they are to get back into this tie.
36'
Z. Aboukhlal has scored a goal for Toulouse! Assist by B. van den Boomen.
GOAL!!! Toulouse take the lead!!! Van den Boomen has the ball on the right wing, and he does well to make space for a cross. His pinpoint delivery finds Aboukhlal in the middle, who flicks his header past Callens and into the back of the net to put the visitors 1-0 up!

It has been a cagey opening, perhaps to be expected with so much at stake for both teams.

The visitors kick us off and we are underway!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Coupe de France semi-final between Annecy and Toulouse at Parc des Sports.
The hosts are enjoying a tremendous cup run, with this their first Coupe de France semi-final in the club's 96-year history. In fact, they had already gone the furthest they ever had when they reached the quarter-finals, where a stunning penalty shoot-out victory over 10-time winners Marseille sent them through to the final four. They have been in disappointing form since that game though, with three defeats in four league games leaving them perilously close to the Ligue 2 relegation zone.
The visitors will hope to avoid becoming Annecy's next big scalp as they also look to claim their first Coupe de France trophy. They reached this stage of the competition by demolishing second-tier side Rodez 6-1 in the last eight, and this will be their first semi-final in the competition since the 2008-09 season. Sat in 13th and looking likely to stay up in their first campaign since winning promotion back to Ligue 1, they will be hoping to cap the season with silverware.
ANNECY (4-3-3): Thomas Callens; Arnold Temanfo, Kevin Mouanga, Gaby Jean, Jonathan Goncalves; Jean-Jacques Rocchi, Ahmed Kashi, Yohan Demoncy; Kevin Testud, Alexy Bosetti, Steve Shamal.
SUBS: Samuel Ntamack Ndimba, Vincent Pajot, Madyen El Jaouhari, Nathan Falconnier, Florian Escales, Dion Moise Sahi, Kevin Farade.
TOULOUSE (4-2-3-1): Kjetil Haug; Mikkel Desler, Logan Costa, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Gabriel Suazo; Stijn Spierings, Branco van den Boomen; Zakaria Aboukhlal, Brecht Dejaegere, Rafael Ratao; Thijs Dallinga.
Home head coach Laurent Guyot makes six changes from the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Nimes last time out as he switches from 5-3-2 to 4-3-3. The shift in formation sees Hady Camara and Maxime Bastian miss out altogether as Goncalves and Rocchi come in, while Callens is preferred to Escales in goal. The choice to go with a front three means Testud, Bosetti and Shamal start ahead of Sahi, Pajot and Ntamack.
SUBS: Maxime Dupe, Denis Genreau, Ado Onaiwu, Vincent Sierro, Veljko Birmancevic, Moussa Diarra, Warren Kamanzi, Fares Chaibi, Said Hamulic.
The two teams make their way onto the pitch ahead of this big cup semi-final.
The referee blows the whistle to bring an intriguing first half to an end. Both sides took time to settle into the contest, but each team had chances to open the scoring before Toulouse finally did so in the 36th minute, when an excellent Van den Boomen cross picked out Aboukhlal to nod the visitors in front. It appeared their lead would survive until the break, until a threatening corner into their penalty area ended with Suazo bringing down Bosetti. The forward picked himself up off the turf to smash home his penalty and send the teams into the interval with the scoreline 1-1.
Annecy's fairytale run suffered another hitch when Aboukhlal headed the visitors in front, but they hit back in sublime fashion to give them a real chance of kicking on and clinching their place in the final. Can they extend their incredible journey with another comeback win?
Thanks for joining us for live coverage of Toulouse's 2-1 win over Annecy in the Coupe de France semi-finals. Goodbye!
Toulouse can now look ahead to the final, which is set to be played against holders Nantes at the Stade de France on April 29 after they beat Lyon 1-0 in their semi-final. For Annecy, their fairytale cup run is over and they will now turn their attentions back to avoiding relegation to the third tier.
