Toulouse does not confirm in Dunkirk, Cesson-Rennes crushes Istres
The feat against PSG has not been digested. Thursday evening, opening the fourth day of Liqui Moly Starligue, Toulouse, four days after its victory against Paris (35-27), fell to Dunkirk (38-32). A meeting during which the visitors never succeeded, even if they managed to equalize several times at the start of the meeting (1-1, 3-3, 4-4) then after the break (20-20). As for the locals, under the leadership of Théo Avelange Demouge in particular (ten goals with an 83% success rate), they have gradually taken off, at the level of this scoreboard. In the first period, their lead increased to +5 (15-10, 16-11, 17-12), while at the break, the Toulouse had returned to -1 (18-17). In the second half, the Dunkirks then moved forward, until they had a nine-point lead (34-25), to end up definitively stabilizing their lead at +6 (38-32). Dunkirk is fifth and Toulouse sixth.
Cesson Rennes takes the lead
The French men’s handball championship is a new leader. And this new leader is obviously temporary. This honor goes to Cesson-Rennes who had fun against Istres (33-22). However, at the start of the game, it was the visitors who took matters into their own hands, without counting more than two goals in advance (0-2, 3-5, 4-6). From 6-6, the locals, won in particular by Ludwig Appolinaire and his 5 goals with an 83% success rate, took matters into their own hands. To accentuate their lead and count up to +7 in this first act (15-8), +6 at the break (16-10). The solo rider then continued after the break. The lead of the Cesson Rennes club even increased constantly, up to +12 (25-13, 26-14, 33-21), to stabilize definitively at +11 (33-22). If Cesson Rennes is therefore in the lead, for its part, Istres is dead last with four defeats in as many meetings already disputed.
