Nantes went to win on the floor of the Fleury red lantern and consolidates its fifth place. Dijon, winner of Plan-de-Cuques, returns to victory.
After the defeat of Chambray this Friday against Paris 92, Nantes had the opportunity to consolidate its fifth place. Traveling to Fleury, bottom of the Butagaz Energie League, Mathieu Lanfranchi’s players have achieved their goal. However, it was Karichma Ekoh’s teammates (7 goals on 9 shots) who started the game better, racing in the lead during the first quarter of an hour. The Neptunes then responded to take the lead and lead by two lengths at the break. After accelerating at the start of the second half, Naemi Ardouin’s teammates (6 goals on 9 shots) experienced an air gap and let Fleury return to one goal with 20 minutes still to play. The end of the match allowed Nantes to take off again to win by five goals (26-31). A victory that allows the Neptunes to take a five-point lead over Chambray and stay in contact with Besançon. Fleury, beaten for the 22nd time, remains dead last.
Dijon raises its head
After two defeats in a row, Dijon returned to victory during their trip to Plan-de-Cuques. The Bouches-du-Rhône players, in the midst of a maintenance race, started strong but Samantha Priou’s teammates (6 goals on 8 shots) gradually lost ground before concluding the first act with a head start. The Dijonnaises, back on the floor, raised their voices and Céline Sivertsen’s teammates (4 goals on 6 shots) took control of operations. However, the gap between the two teams never widened. It was only with a one-goal lead that Dijon won (23-24) and came within three points of Nice. Plan-de-Cuques, after his victory against Celles-sur-Belle, did not take advantage of the new setback of the penultimate to widen the gap.
