A complicated start to the match for the ReBelles
From the first minutes, the Aiglonnes imposed their game. Faster and organized, they exploited the flaws in the ReBelles’ defense, quickly widening a significant gap on the scoreboard. Lacking offensive solutions and fragile on the defensive level, the Toulonnaises struggled to contain the opposing attacks. The first half ended with a significant lead for Nice, leaving ReBelles fans waiting for a reaction.

The goalkeeper made several decisive saves, restoring confidence to her teammates. If the delay accumulated in the first period was too great to reverse the score, the team nevertheless displayed a conquering state of mind, which suggests good things for the next meetings.
A final score in favor of the Aiglonnes
Despite all their efforts, the ReBelles lost to Nice with a score of 19 to 28. A bitter defeat but one that holds lessons for the future.
