Les Violets return to success in Toulouse (29-33)
This Saturday took place the 6th championship day for the “H” who moved on the floor of Fenix Toulouse, red lantern of Liqui Moly StarLigue. The objective was clear for lse Violets: to return to success after the defeat against Limoges.
The locals kicked off the game and quickly took the advantage to the mark. Holder to drive it this evening, Aymeric Minne registered the first but Violet. 5 minutes of break-in was enough for Mickael Robin to put out his first parade at 6m, but he could do nothing against Maxime Gilbert on the counter. After 10 minutes of play, the start of the match was for Toulouse, and Alberto had to set his first time out. (10 ‘7-3).
The entries of Rok Ovnicek and Ruben Marchan generate good in the purple game, combined with the saves of a well-hung Mickael Robin. The Nantes goalkeeper even came out on top, twice, leaving consecutively 2 parades at 6m, while his own were outnumbered. It was better on the Violet side: Bala equalized with a 9m shot and Valero passed us in front. (16 ‘8-9).
Mickael Robin continued his story in the cages but that did not allow the “H” to really benefit from it, punished by several numerical inferiorities. The people of Nantes alternated between the power of Théo Monar and the vivacity of Rok Ovnicek to find solutions.
Alberto’s men rose crescendo in power in this first half and the coach’s rotations were going to pay off: the Portuguese Portela and Cavalcanti distinguished themselves in turn at the mark before Aymeric Minne finished the first perfectly. half time. The center-half scored the last 3 purple goals and agreed with the “H” to bring the score to +4 before the break. (15-19).

Upon returning from the locker room, it was Milan Milic who triggered the first firecracker. In a very rhythmic match between two formations exploiting the fast play, the goals followed one another at the scorer’s table. The Toulousains tried to remember thanks to the saves of Jeff Lettens, but as in the first period, it is collectively that the “H” succeeds in the solution, and Rok Ovnicek served Ruben Marchan perfectly. Milan Milic freed himself on his rear base and Micka Robin took out his 2500th stop in Liqui Moly Starligue (45 ’22-26).
Despite this, the Toulousains did not pick up and resisted mentally, remaining 3-4 lengths behind at most. We entered the last 10 minutes and the Toulouse game was proving its worth. The premises returned to 2 but Aymeric Minne then Micka Robin shone again.
The Violets managed their lead perfectly in the last minutes and finally won with control at the Palais des Sports in Toulouse (29-33). One win and two points equals 5th place in the ranking.
