Michalak hero for Toulouse

Stade Francais 12 Toulouse 18 (aet)

It was a historic third European triumph for last season’s beaten finalists, although the game was bitterly disappointing as a spectacle, as both sides struggled to come to terms with the pressure of the occasion.

Fly-half Frederic Michalak was the hero for Toulouse, kicking a penalty in the last minute of normal time to level the scores, before adding another penalty and a dropped goal in extra-time for good measure.
