In the return tie, on 27 September, Toungara netted his first goal for Flamurtari Vlorë as his side ran out 6–1 winners on aggregate.[1] He subsequently scored three further goals in the 2017–18 Albanian Cup.[1] On 9 December, Toungara made his professional league debut during a Superliga victory versus Vllaznia Shkodër.[1] In his second pro league appearance, versus Kamza on 22 December, Toungara scored for the first time in league football after netting in injury time of a 0–3 win.[1] In January 2018, Toungara was signed on loan by Football Superleague of Kosovo side Liria Prizren.[1][3] He returned to Flamurtari Vlorë in July 2018.[1]
