Jean-Jacques Acquevillo (USAM Nimes Gard)
–
This Occitan derby promised a lot: theUSAM Nimes and the Fenix Toulouse are indeed neck and neck in the race for Europe. We were therefore entitled to hope for a tight and tense duel in the Palais des Sports in the Pink City. To tell the truth, it was not so, and it was the visitors who clearly imposed themselves 26-35. From the 5th minute of the match, the Gardois took the advantage and kept it until the end of the match, with a goal difference oscillating regularly from +5 to +9 in their favor for a good part Match. At the level of individual performances, we will highlight on the Nîmes side the very good match of Jean-Jacques Acquevillo (7/8 on shots) as well as the 7 achievements of Mohammad Sanad and the solid performance of Rémi Desbonnet in the cages (12/36 saves, 33% efficiency).
With this brilliant and important victory, USAM continues on its good form of the moment, thus chaining a sixth success in a row (including five in the league). In the standings, the men of Yann Balmossiere are ahead of their evening opponents: they now occupy sixth place with 30 points (behind their rivals Montpellier who are playing tomorrow against Limoges), just like Toulouse, which they overtake in the particular goal average.
