For the second day of the National 2 men’s league, Nice Cavigal handball won (35-27) against Marseille.
After their strong start last week against Prades le Lez, the Nice team traveled to face a direct competitor for the top of the table. And it can certainly be said that the team led by Gérald Jean Zéphirin confirmed their ambitions. After a closely contested start with both teams going head-to-head, it was the Nice team who broke away first. They took a four-point lead and then extended it to seven by the twenty-seventh minute. The Marseillais managed to narrow the gap at the end of the first half. But it was indeed the Nice team who finished ahead at halftime, leading (16-10).
A one-sided second half
In the second half, the Nice team continued to maintain a high pace of play. The teammates of Florian Graglia, who scored eight goals tonight, left the Marseillais with no chance of catching up. On the contrary, the Nice team pulled ahead, leading by up to twelve points mid-second half. A serious performance by the Aiglons. They were once again able to rely on a strong performance from their goalkeeper. This time, it was Aicardi Maxime who stood out, as the Nice goalkeeper made twelve saves tonight. A good start to the season and a second win in a row bolstering their position at the top of the rankings.
Next match, next Saturday at home at 8 PM against Bagnole Gard Rhodanien.
