LMS | Paris still leader, Montpellier still falls
Three consecutive defeats in the league, you have to go back in the annals of the Starligue to find any sign of a bad pass for Montpellier. Always so brilliant in the Champions League, the Hérault suffered a third defeat in a row in the league, this afternoon at Toulouse (26:32). In check against Fenix porter Jef Lettens, author of 14 saves, Patrice Canayer’s men were still in the game at the break, only behind by three goals (12:15). But, like a Julien Bos not very successful, they gave up again after the break, while Erwin Feuchtmann and Nemanja Ilic lacked nothing, or almost. A quarter of an hour from the end, the Toulousains were six lengths ahead, a gap that they would manage to keep until the siren.
Paris continue on his side his lone rider at the head of the championship. This afternoon is Nancy who could not do anything against the men of Raul Gonzalez (38:26). A first break of five goals after ten minutes of play was recovered by the Nancéens, returned to two lengths as the break approached. Before taking on a new shine just before returning to the locker room. Paris would then widen a gap in the last quarter of an hour, scoring a 4-0 to finish the affair, in the wake of a very good Elohim Prandi (6 goals). In the standings, Paris keeps its five points ahead of Nantes.
