After a tightly contested match, OGC Nice managed to emerge victorious in the duel against Chambray Touraine Handball (17-19, FM).
The Aiglonnes leaned on an ironclad defense and could count on a standout performance from Hatadou Sako to fend off opposing attacks (6-11, HT). With only six goals on the scoreboard in the first half, CTHB sorely lacked shooting efficiency to take the lead in the match.
Mouna Chebbah’s teammates pushed in the second half to turn the game around, but the Niçoises remained unyielding, exemplified by Martina Skolkova’s valuable contributions during crucial moments.
For Nice: outstanding performance by Sako (16 saves out of 33 shots). Skolkova, Lachaud, and Abdelmalek each scored 4 times.
Nice clinches a second consecutive victory and joins Fleury Loiret, Besançon, and Paris in the standings.
