In Round 2 of French Ligue A playdowns, three points for Toulouse, who inflicted second defeat in a row for a disappointing Nantes. 3-1 (27:25, 25:18, 21:25, 25:22) is the final result.
The other two matches ended at tie break: second win a row for last-placed Cannes, despite a 0-2 lead on the field of Poitiers and a half comeback suffered until the 2-2. One-sided, however, the decisive fifth set (26:28, 21:25, 25:22, 25:19, 8:15). MVP of the match Ronald Jimenez, with 26 points, 2 aces and 57%, while Danjel Koncilja made 7 winning blocks.
The bad news for the winners, however, is that they remained at -4 from Cambrai, who made a comeback from 1-2 at home against Plessis Robinson, to celebrate second win in as many games, 3-2 is the final result (25:20, 20:25, 18:25, 25:22, 16:14). Great battle among two opposite: Vasyl Tupchii, among the winners, who ended the game with 27 points, 2 aces and 74% in attack while, on the other side of the net, Antonin Rouzier, top scorer of the match with 28 points, 2 aces, 1 winning block and 76% in attack!
