CdL (M) | Nîmes, Créteil and Toulouse in quarters at the end of the suspense
The last three round of 16 of the League Cup gave rise to disheveled scenarios.
Complicated to be crazier than the evening of yesterday, in terms of the scenario. Toulouse, Nîmes and Créteil had to wait until the last moments of their round of 16 to validate their ticket for the next round. the Fenix, a Cesson, got four goals ahead of twenty minutes from the end, taking advantage of the opposing clumsiness thanks to the efficiency of Edouard Kemp (9 goals). But the Bretons have always remained in contact, the two teams being tied two minutes from time. But a last badly mastered attack on the Cessonais side gave Toulouse the opportunity to win (28:26), which Erwin Feuchtmann did not waste.
Even more incredible, the victory of Nimes a Dunkirk (30:29). The Northerners seemed to have digested the slap received in the championship last Sunday (21:29) and were in the lead for three-quarters of an hour. The gap took impressive proportions in the first period, the USAM counting up to seven disbursement goals while Samir Bellahcene erected the barbed wire in front of his cage (19 saves). But the loss of ball was going to weigh down the USDK, still ahead of four lengths with fifteen minutes of the end. Ahmed Hesham, with his seven goals including four in the last quarter of an hour, was going to get his people out of the rut, while Kader Rahim missed the equalizer.
Creteil had to go through penalties to get rid of Chartres (40:39). The Chartrains got off to the best start and four goals in the first ten minutes, but it didn’t last. Todor Jandric came back up the hill, putting out thirteen saves in the game, while Mario Lopez was adamant on 7-meter throws. Tie at the break, tie at the end of regulation time but also at the end of two extra times, there were only the 7m jets to decide between the two teams. Jandric, again, took out the attempts of Vium and Ilic while Valentin Aman did not tremble, sending his own to the quarter-finals, the draw of which will take place this Thursday.
