Nantes does not let itself be discouraged. On Sunday night, HBC dominated Dunkirk during Starligue matchday 13 (32-29). In enemy territory, Nantes was the strongest collectively with three players to 6 goals at the end of the game (Thibaud Briet, Valero (NYSE:) Rivera, Jorge Maqueda Peno). This success allows H to remain two short lengths behind Montpellier and Paris Saint-Germain and to settle comfortably on the podium. Dunkirk is 10th. In the other meeting of the day, Toulouse beat Nîmes at Parnassus (38-37). Despite leading by 8 goals at half-time, Fenix saw their opponents gradually come from behind in the second half. In the end USAM didn’t find the resources to equalize and stumbled for a long time on Jef Lettens, imperial from a penalty and author of 10 saves. Nemanja Ilic scored 9 goals and remains the top scorer. In the standings, Toulouse took 6th place and took a one point lead over the Green Team.
