Defeated in the tie-break, Nice was on the verge of creating an upset in the first leg of the semi-final of the championship (final on May 9 at Salle Charpentier in Paris).
Poitiers clinched victory through struggle but realized that Mitrovic and company… They mean business!
The return match next Wednesday at Palmeira promises to be open and exciting.
Will Mladen Kasic’s players manage to push the newcomers to a decisive third match?
