France: Cannes leader again, Tourcoing fall in Toulouse, 9th win a row for Montpellier, Nantes, Poitiers and Chaumont ok
2 min read
The first six games valid for Ligue A Round 13 were played yesterday.
Among the top teams, terrible match for Tourcoing, that give 30 point errors to the rivals and collapse on the field of Toulouse in straight sets. The hosts close with a sensational 71% team attack and Madsen return to the field as top scorer with 13 points and 73% in attack. On the other hand, among the guests, Starovic is completely missing (-17% efficiency in attack) and Coach Mauricio Paes tries in vain to redesign the team in the 3rd set by moving Palonsky in opposite position and putting on the field Gempin as outside-hitter. Tourcoing therefore loses ground in the standings both from Montpellier, who conquers their ninth victory in a row with a clear 3-0 on the field of Séte, and from Cannes who manages to complete the comeback from 0-2 against a Paris that is definitely improving, compared to at the first games (LOOK AT PHOTOGALLERY OF THE MATCH).
Positive evening also for Nantes who, despite scoring 12 points less than their rivals and losing the direct confrontation in all the fundamentals, won a very important match at the tie-break in Nice despite the heavy absence of Michalovic. Chaumont interrupts a streak of 3 consecutive defeats by resisting the comeback attempt of the newcomers Cambrai (3-2 after the initial 2-0), while Poitiers beats Narbonne 3-1 in comeback, thanks to the decisive entry from the bench of Neves Atu (instead of Sotola).
