The race for the top spot in the Liqui Moly StarLigue standings is heating up between the two remaining undefeated teams this season. In the 26th round of the season, PSG Handball maintained their position by defeating Chartres (40-20) at home. Meanwhile, Nantes, the runner-up, also secured a victory over Chambéry (42-32).
Start of second half fatal for Chartres
In a match where both teams were neck and neck at the beginning, PSG took control as the minutes passed. With an efficient offensive trio of Elohim Prandi (8 goals), Luc Steins (6 goals), and Omar Yahia (6 goals), PSG pulled ahead in the first half and never looked back. With a five-goal lead at halftime, PSG extended their lead at the start of the second half, taking advantage of a significant drop in performance from Chartres. With a 12-2 run in fifteen minutes, PSG made it easy for themselves to secure a comfortable victory (40-20) in the end.
Nantes solid against Chambéry
In the other Sunday match, Nantes hosted Chambéry, in a game that quickly went in favor of Aymeric Minne and Nantes. With 12 goals, the center back played a key role in a victory that was soon apparent. Despite facing some challenges in the first half, Nantes did what was necessary towards the end of the first half to enter halftime with a five-goal lead. In the second half, Nantes capitalized on Nicolas Tournat’s strong performance (8 goals) to maintain their lead and secure their twenty-ninth win of the season (42-32). Nantes, still unbeaten like PSG this season, remain in second place, trailing by two points.
