Metz-Nice: we were expecting an intense and contested duel, but it was anything but.
Dominant, Méline Nocandy’s teammates once again played a complete match, leaving no chance for their opponents of the evening. From the start of the match, the Dragonnes suffocated the Aiglonnes, relying on an ironclad defense and an effective fast-paced game (16-9, HT).
Dazed, the Nice team could not disrupt the local team’s momentum, struggling against the well-organized Lorraine block.
In the end, it was an authoritative victory for Metz Handball (31-21), marking an eighth consecutive win in the LFH.
The Nice team will have the chance to redeem themselves on Friday the 19th against Bourg-Péage.
Top scorer for Nice: M Agathe with 4 goals.
In goal: Sako (30′) made 6 saves out of 21 shots; Colic 4/20.
