A derby is a derby… but Nice effectively managed this threat and secured a fine victory, positioning themselves high in the rankings.
Toulon put all their energy into this match and remained tied until halfway through the second half (19-19), after a very balanced first half (12-11 for the Var team).
Then the eaglets made the break (23-19), and afterwards managed the game without taking risks.
As usual, Carmen Martin with 6 goals from 9 shots and Torstenson (5/10) provided the crucial goal capital. Prudhomme (4/9) and Lachaud (4/4) contributed significantly.
In goal, the usual rotation between Sako (18 minutes) with 1 shot saved out of 12 attempts and Colic (42 minutes) with 10 saves from 21 attempts.
