This match, very important for the rest of the season, started ideally for the Mendois. Their staggered defense posed real problems. They quickly led 3-1 then 6-4 in the 8th minute. The visitors began to find solutions. They even moved ahead, 8-7, in the 15th minute. Moment chosen by the Mende coach to call a timeout.

The firsts of Clément Constantin and Vincent Lacour

After a few tactical adjustments, the teammates of captain Antoine Cuminal will put a very big boost under the impetus of Matis Berkat and Valentin Molinie to lead 14-10, in the 22nd, and 17-12, at the break.

At the start of the second period, the locals suffered a major blow with Olivier Cavalier's red card, who had to leave his teammates until the end of the game. This did not contradict the momentum of the MGC, which continued to consolidate its lead. The Lozériens even had an eight-goal lead with fifteen minutes to go (27-19). This allowed the coach to launch the young guard with Clément Constantin and Vincent Lacour, who were keen to show their worth and join in the party.

Next match: Rodez at home

The end of the match was a little more disjointed. But the main thing was there, with a final victory of 33-28. With the defeats of Rodez and Frontignan, Florent Bodin's men take second place in the championship alone, only one point behind Clermont Salagou.

For coach Florent Bodin, “this victory is important and relaunches our group dynamic. We played a very good match overall against a team that played its luck boldly. On Saturday, February 8, we will have a very big challenge, at La Vernède with the reception of Rodez 2, third with a very strong team.”
