Nice had ambitions for this match but, most likely, they stayed in the locker room!
As often this season, the team from the Côte d’Azur missed the final turn and, in the end, were left frustrated…and above all, without any points to add to their meager standings.
Always trailing their opponents throughout the match (9-14 at halftime), the eaglets managed to equalize at the 52nd minute: 21-21.
But the final minutes were fatal to them: 23-26.
A painful defeat before hosting Toulon next Saturday for the Côte derby.
Ehsan Abdemalek with 6 goals and Madia Prudhomme with 5 were the top scorers, while Hatadou Sako made 11 saves out of 31 shots.
