The upset of the day come from Nice: the hosts, now at 9th place in the standings, defeated former leaders Chaumont in four sets (22:25, 25:22, 25:22, 25:14), earning three very important points for the standings. MVP and top scorer of the match Brazilian outside hitter Wilian Doardo, who ended the game with 19 points, all in attack, through 73%, while Nice’s middle blockers Gojko Çuk and Franco Medina also contributed with 4 winning blocks each.

Bad news, on the other hand, for Chaumont, now at -3 from leaders Tours, who today won on the field
of last-placed Cambrai with the same result – 1-3 (22:25, 18:25, 25:19, 21:25), in what was surely not their best game this season.
At third place and -2 from Chaumont, is Nantes, who celebrated a four sets victory too, on the field of Plessis-Robinson – 1-3 (19:25, 25:23, 22:25, 33:35), with another impressive performance of Chizoba Neves Atu, who ended the game with 34 points through 63% in attack and 2 winning blocks.
Great performance also for Narbonne, now at 5th place in the standings, who defeat Montpellier on the road in just three sets (27:29, 22:25, 22:25), with a good performance from the service line: 9 aces, 3 by top scorer Willner Rivas (19 points and 62% in attack).
Close the picture Poitiers’ victory at tie break on the field of Sète – 2-3 (22:25, 25:17, 16:25, 25:15, 13:15), in a direct clash for 10th place, that remains in the hands of Sète (10 points, the same numbers of Nice), while today’s winners are just behind, with 9. Brazilian Gabriel Da Silva and Iranian Manavinezhad scored 29 and 21 points respectively on the winning side, while Ardo Kreek made 7 winning blocks on the other side of the net.
