The ONN had the advantage before the return match in Montpellier.
Largely dominated for three quarters (3-1; 3-2; 2-1) by the locals, the Nice team got back into the game with an exemplary final quarter (3-0), which allowed them to play for third place in penalties. Final score of regular time: 8-7 for Montpellier.
The penalty shootout did not go well for the Nice team, who were defeated 12-9 and thereby missed the podium in favor of their opponents. What a regret!
The scorers: Rocchietta, Cakic Laversanne 2, Hansen, Monneret 1.
