The Angels of Béziers failed to bring down the Nantes leader, still undefeated in Ligue A

A meeting which begins with an ace from Béziers captain Nada Meawad in a white-hot room to support her team.
A start to the first set dominated in attack by the Nantaises, but with good defenses on the Béziers side. Trailing by 2 points (6-8), Frédéric Havas' players are gradually catching up (12-12).
But the Neptunes reacted and inflicted three consecutive points on the locals (12-15). Advantage that the championship leaders will increase further (16-20).
Despite the attacks of Sunderlikova, Majkovska and Meawad, Nantes concluded this first set (20-25).
An ideal start to the second set for the Biterroises with four entry points scored on their serve. The reaction of the Angels continues with Debell and Moore in particular at the end (7-1). But gradually the Nantes women climbed back into the lead (11-11).

Trou d’air

As too often this season, when the Biterroises lead the table, they go through air gaps. And as is often the case, after the drop in speed, comes the reaction. The locals regain the advantage at the mark (16-13). New tie at 16 between the two teams. It was then a real mano a mano (20-20), before Nantes finally won (23-25).
At the start of the third round, the visitors led the score before being caught (6-6) then overtaken by Béziers (10-6 then 16-10). A beautiful sequence which must now be concretized by the victory of the set, erasing the inconsistency for the Angels, 22-12 for Béziers then 25-14.
After a balanced and good start to the fourth set (7-7), the advantage was taken by Nantes (7-10). Béziers does not give up and comes back (12-12), before giving in again (16-20) and returning to (23-23). A roller coaster on the scoreboard which does not displease the public who came in large numbers. But at the end of the suspense, Béziers finally bows (23-25).
