CDF (M) | Paris joins Nantes in the final
The favorites of the 1/2 finals of the Coupe de France, Nantes and Paris, finally held their rank and will quite logically meet in Bercy on June 11 for a remake of the 2015 final. The day after Nantes qualified, It was Paris’ turn tonight to challenge Fenix Toulouse 3 days after their Champions League game against THW Kiel. And the least we can say is that there was no match at Coubertin!
A one-sided first half
After 10 minutes of play, Paris was already leading 10-3 against timid Toulouse. Taken by the old semi-center of the Rose city, Luke SteinParis unfolded its game without difficulty with in particular Dainis Kristopans (7 but in 30 min) and Yann Genty in goal made his first saves very quickly. On the Fenix side, Feuchtmann limited damage with 4 achievements. At the break, PSG Handball dominated Fenix with a score of 22 to 14.
Paris keeps rolling
Back from the locker room, the Fenix look to grab balls with a more aggressive and staged defense. Nemanja Ilic remembering the good memories of the Parisians and allowing his team to pick up (28-23 at 43′) obliging Raul Gonzales to set a time-out. Paris revives by sticking a 2-0 in Toulouse and it is at the same time that the Parisian coach decides to bring in Vincent Gerard in the Parisian cages. The last quarter of an hour will be like the first 30 minutes with Parisian mastery and a festival of goals from both sides. Final score 39-32 for PSG who will now be able to focus on their quarter-final second leg of the Champions League next week in Germany.
