Descat, Porte, Desbonnet or even Konan: all the forces of Montpellier were present on Saturday evening at the Halle Polyvalente, abundantly packed with 800 spectators. And from the start of the match, MHB impressed with its power, relying on their experienced winger Lenne and Descat, scoring five of Hérault’s first eight goals (3-8, 15And).
But during the meeting, Istres regained momentum. He relied on his goalkeeper, Clément Gaudin (11 saves), at the peak of the event, as well as last year’s Proligue best player, Lucas Vanegue (7 goals). The former central half of Cherbourg will be one to watch throughout the season.
Much behind in the interval (10-16), the Violets had a more complete second half, losing just three goals to a podium contender. “ The victory was not easy “recognized Hérault pivot Karl Konan (5 goals). “ We got out of our strategy in the second half “the former Aixois said again.
“ We remember the defeat tonight, it is quite frustrating “for his part, Clément Gaudin reacted at the end of the match. “ But we’ll take the positive. We played a good game. We must not forget the quality of the opponent, Montpellier. The start of the season is quite eventful and we will have to raise our heads quickly, from Thursday for the derby “continued the Istrian porter.
In fact, Gilles Derot’s men are now expected at the Arena to challenge the PAUC, during the 2And Day of the Liqui Moly Star League. However, Aixois missed the start by crashing heavily in Chartres (34-27) last Friday.
