France: Saint Nazaire destroy Paris in advance of Round 19

Round 19 of 2022/23 Ligue A started today with a clear straight sets win of Saint Nazaire on the field of Paris, partially 20:25, 17:25 and 22:25.
Top scorer and MVP of the game Helder Spencer, author once again of an almost perfect performance: 17 points through 81% in attack (13/16, without errors or blocked), 2 aces and 2 winning blocks.
With this result, the newcomers (who, with the only exception of first points of second set, always led the game) bypasses temporarily Nantes in the standings, and now they are at second place with 2 more points than the direct rivals, who will face Narbonne tomorrow (the same Narbonne who defeated them on Wednesday, in Round of 16 of Coupe de France), and -3 from current leaders Tours.
