The Brestoises will long remember this stunning victory over Nantes on Wednesday in their Arena (26-25). Their victims too: the sky fell on the heads of the Nantes women as they led without stopping from the 1st to the 55th minute.
A quarter of an hour from the end, Bruna De Paula’s teammates (7 goals) were still six lengths ahead (18-24, 44th) on Brestoises in bad shape, like their star rookie Djurdjina Jaukovic (1/5 shooting only). But Nantes then scored only one small goal until the final siren.
Brest passes in front for the first time in the 60th minute
Sandra Toft lined up a series of parades (9 in total) and Brest nibbled its delay. With 41 seconds remaining, Breton captain Coralie Lassource scored the winning goal (26-25). It was the first time in the game that the BBH had walked past on the notice board …
This crazy scenario allows Brest to chain a fourth victory in as many days. Laurent Bezeau’s team remains co-leader with his rival Metz, who spent a much quieter evening on the floor of Fleury (39-26). The Lorraines knocked out the Panthers entry (0-4, 3rd) and closed the case at the break (15-23, 30th) after an offensive festival orchestrated by Tjasa Stanko (5 goals). In his cage, Hatadou Sako reigned again (10 saves at 43%).
Finally, Paris 92 won in Toulon (30-20), its third victory in a row in the Championship.
