Valencia wins at the buzzer, Sélestat lands the shock

Valencia will remember it for a long time! Traveling this Friday evening in Massy, ​​the Valentinois won a prestigious victory on the ground of a direct competitor for maintenance. All, at the very last second on a realization by Pierre Frechou (29-30). A result which allows Valence Handball to overtake the Massicois in the ranking and take 9th place. And the least we can say is that Massy may have regrets. Clearly ahead until the 40th minute, the Ile-de-France residents were caught and suffered following an unbearable end to the match.

After winning the Grand-Est derby in Sarrebourg last Sunday, Sélestat Alsace Handball continued this Friday in front of its supporters and achieved a more than significant success in the race to the top. Against Istres, the Alsatians were able to deliver a prestigious second period following a balanced first act. Trailing by a goal at half-time (12-13), Sélestat, pushed by its supporters, reacted fully upon returning from the locker room (18-14, 37th) and was never worried by the Istreans in the 30 last minutes. Final score, 31-24.

In pain, Pontault-Combault continued his series of invincibility against Billère while Tremblay did the same in Frontignan. Cherbourg found a smile again against Sarrebourg and Nancy performed in front of her supporters during the reception in Besançon.
