The players of OGC Nice delivered an outstanding performance against Metz, the league leaders.
Trailing for almost the entire match, the Nice team managed to snatch a draw (23-23) in the final seconds of the game.
Against the still undefeated Messines this season and clear favorites, Alexandra Lacrabère’s teammates (once again decisive tonight with 9 goals) deserved credit for never giving up.
Despite being 4 goals down on several occasions during the match and still 2 goals behind in the last 2 minutes, they could have collapsed.
However, this didn’t account for Cléopatre Darleux’s impressive performance in goal (13 saves) and the last two scores by Knustdottir and Daquin in Money Time.
In the end, Nice clinched 2 unexpected points and moved a bit closer to the playoffs. Provisionally 5th in the standings, if Nantes loses tomorrow in Dijon, the deal will be sealed.
