Infuriating! The Thionvillois led by 6 goals in the second half before being caught up by the Haute-Saône players, then overtaken 1’30” from the end on a shot from André (26-27). With a great Felici, author of 15 saves, TMHB immediately put their foot on the accelerator. Moualek, Brahimi and Binet show the way to their teammates (4-1).
Taking advantage of their opponent’s minutes of scarcity in attack, the Thionvillois do not give up and continue to find solutions like this beautiful collective movement concluded by Gimenez (16-9, 22e ). Opposite, Fix (7 goals) tries to reassure his team, but a new save from Felici and the arm of Brahimi leave the TMHB with a good cushion at half-time (18-13).
At the start of the second act, we did not expect the final scenario, especially when Brahimi, the best scorer of the match with 10 goals, kept Youcef Belkharoubi’s guys in front (21-15, then 24-19).
Then, the local attacks became a little more confused, while on the other side Duriaud and Fix found the net more easily. The Thionville ship did not sink but the threat was getting closer (24-23, 50e ). Despite everything, the Yellow and Blue showed character and moved forward with a shot from Brahimi (25-23). The end of the match became muscular and the TMHB was going to pay for its excess of energy in the last minutes conceding a 0-3 which this time relegated it behind (25-26). Vidal’s goal to equalize at 26 will not be enough. André taking charge of definitively maintaining the advantage of the new leader of the championship (26-27).
