France continues its flawless performance and moves closer to the semi-finals

The French handball team signed its fifth victory in as many matches in this Euro 2024 after a controlled success against Montenegro (31-23). Enough to confidently foresee qualification for the semi-finals.

Les Bleues received five out of five. Two years after being surprised during the match for third place in the Euro, the team took its revenge on Montenegro by winning this Friday in Debrecen (31-23). Facing a tough opponent, Sébastien Gardillou's players sign their fifth victory in as many matches in this Euro 2024 and are getting closer to qualifying for the semi-finals before their last two matches against Sweden on Sunday (8:30 p.m.) and the Hungary Tuesday (6 p.m.).

Orlane Kanor sees red, Glauser on fire

24 hours after their victory against Romania, the Blues were already back on the floor to confirm their rise in power. Facing the control tower Durdina Jaukovic, the French showed a lot of waste with numerous ball losses, which left the Montenegrins in the game, with no more than five goals behind on average until three quarters of the match.

Without Orlane Kanor – sent off after 21 minutes for a right arm shot in the face of an opponent – Estelle Nze Minko exceeded 500 goals for the selection and Laura Glauser put on a show in the goals in the second period, with eleven saves.

First in its group with four points, France is on par with Hungary and can calmly continue its European journey and its golden dreams. If the Blue covered themselves with gold at the Olympic Games in Tokyo (2021) and at the Worlds (2023), they have not won the Euro since 2018, their only success in a competition largely dominated by Norway (9 coronations in 15 editions).
