the scoring for Toulouse in the 11th minute, before going into goal after his teammate, T.F.C. goalkeeper Devis, had been sent off. Strasbourg took advantage of their numerical superiority to score and take the tie into extra-time in the last few seconds of play, before scoring two further goals to kill off Toulousain hopes of reaching the final. The following season, Toulouse were drawn to meet the Romanian club Dinamo Pitești in the first round of the Fairs Cities' Cup. T.F.C. won the first leg 3–0 in front of a remarkably small home crowd of just 5 000 spectators. In the second leg, however, Dinamo Pitești brought the aggregate score back to 4–4 in the space of nine minutes (Toulouse having scored an important away goal). T.F.C.'s hopes of getting through to the next round were ended by a late goal from Mihai Țurcan. This was to be T.F.C.'s last season. President Doumeng sought badly-needed finance for the club from a large number of hoped-for backers (including the town hall), but it was all in vain. The club was to move its operations to Saint-Ouen in 1967, thus allowing Red Star, then languishing in the second division, back into the top tier. Thus, Toulouse lost its beloved T.F.C., and professional football in the 'Pink City' was lost until 1979. Despite the controversy caused by this merger, it would be several years before the French football authorities voted for legislation which would limit the distance between merging football clubs under its jurisdiction. A new club, Union Sportive de Toulouse, was founded in 1970; this club became Toulouse FC in 1977.
