HBC Nantes won against Chambéry (34-26), during the 27th day of Starligue, this Saturday, May 4. It took a little time, but the people of Nantes managed to break away from their opponents. Until it unfolds at the end of the meeting.
During the first period, leading the score, they missed numerous opportunities to equalize. But the Savoyards never made it happen (15-13, at the break). However, on the other side, the H did not shine at the finish, on long shots as well as from six meters.
The H mastered his end of the match
And in defense, the sanctions fell. Grégory Cojean’s players were penalized with six throws of seven meters. Two of Biosca’s three saves this year were not rewarded. The Spanish goalkeeper finished these first 30 minutes of play with 41% success in his duels. A completely different face compared to last Tuesday, in the European Cup.
But from the second period, it only took two attacks to see Chambéry on the coast of Nantes on the scoreboard (15-15, 32′). And for around ten minutes, it was these same Savoyards who were in a better position, maintaining a one-goal lead over the locals. That was before another seven-meter throw from Valero Rivera (21-20, 43′).
This new move in front launched Kauldi Odriozola, clinical on his wing, and Thibaud Briet, in control tower mode in defense (26-21, 47′). Once the finishing problem was resolved and good balls recovered, Nantes rolled forward. The trip to Montpellier next week will be more comfortable with at least four points ahead of the opponent.
