Electric reunion
This meeting had a special flavor: the reunion in the championship of Elise Marié and Frida Eldebrink with their former club, Tarbes. These reunions were accompanied by an additional intensity, where every action seemed decisive.
Marine Debaut, dazzling
For the Chartres Bluelights, Marine Debaut produced an exceptional performance, scoring 22 points, her career best in the elite. With her acceleration and her skill, she carried her team, maintaining hope until the final seconds.
The TGB wavers but does not give in
Faced with an intrepid Chartres, Tarbes almost gave in. Inefficiency at the free throw line at the end of the match (2/6 in the last three minutes) could have cost them dearly. But it is in these critical moments that a champion emerges: Murjanatu Musa. The Nigerian took charge, scoring 21 points, including 8 crucial ones in the final 2 minutes and 30 seconds. His decisive interception a few seconds from the end sealed the fate of Chartres, who still hoped to force an extension or secure a victory at the last minute.
A victory under tension
With this performance, Murjanatu Musa finished the match with an evaluation of 29, affirming his status as a pillar for Tarbes. Despite the admirable resistance of Chartres, notably thanks to a Marine Debaut on fire, the TGB leaves with a precious victory.
The promoted players will be keen to bounce back quickly, while Tarbes can savor this hard-fought victory.
