Montpellier won in Chambéry (31-30) despite a big scare at the end of the match, Friday during the 9th day of the Starligue, and took a two-point lead in the lead while waiting for the matches of Paris SG and Nantes.
The Héraultais (16 pts) led by three goals with less than five minutes remaining before the Savoyards equalized with one minute remaining. But the left winger, Hugo Descat, gave the victory to the MHB five seconds from the siren by scoring his 8th goal of the match.
In the event of respective success, PSG, on Saturday against Aix-en-Provence, and Nantes, in Nîmes the next day, will join Montpellier at the top of the French Handball Championship.
