In a balanced start to the match where field players and goalkeepers adjust. It was the Montpellier wingers who opened the scoring (4-4 6′). The MHB seems surprised by a good defense from the Porto players (6-6 12′) it is Lucas Pellas (5 goals) and Sebastian Karlsson (10 goals) which mark the first 6 goals for the Héraultais. After 20 minutes of play, no one manages to take the advantage, a real mano-a-mano is launched (9-9). In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Montpellier decided to accelerate and relegate Porto to -5 in just 3 minutes (14-9 23′) with two goals from Remy Desbonnetsas soon as the Portuguese have set up their traditional attack at 7. The MHB does not let up the pace and takes off at the end of the first period (18-13 30’).

Upon returning from the locker room, the intentions remain the same, the teammates of Kylian Villeminot (5 goals) start with a +4, leaving Porto at -9. The Montpellier team unfolds: strong in defense and efficient in attack (24-13 36′). On the MHB side, we couldn’t have started this second half better. Like Bryan Monte (7 goals) and despite their lead, the men of Patrice Canayer remain focused, not letting the Portuguese come back (27-19 45 ́). Porto on each of their losses of balls or their missed shots, are countered by the Héraultais concerned (33-21 50′).
