His third penalty success followed a penalty kick from Toulouse centre Florian Fritz who scored from three metres inside his own half. It was 9–3 to Biarritz after half-an-hour, but nine points in five minutes just before the break for Toulouse transformed the scoreboard. Two David Skrela penalties were followed by a drop goal from Florian Fritz to put Toulouse three points clear at 12–9 at half time. At the start of the second half Biarritz hooker Benoit August took a Toulouse line-out throw at the tail, Patricio Albacete brought him down inside the twenty two to earn a yellow card and give Biarritz a penalty. Dimitri Yachvili scored the penalty and the scores were tied at 12–12. David Skrela then put Toulouse ahead again with two successive drop goals, and the outside half then extended the lead to nine points with another penalty. A try then came from Biarritz when centre Karmichael Hunt scored, which replacement Valentin Courrent successfully converted. With seven minutes left there was only two points between the two sides, but Biarritz simply couldn't find a way through the Toulouse defence again and it was Toulouse that won the Heineken Cup for the fourth time with a two-point victory.
