The French team, after its early victory against North Macedonia in Düsseldorf (39-29), was held in check this Sunday by Switzerland (26-26). Guillaume Gille’s players have long been pushed around by the Helvetians who were already playing big after their heavy defeat for Germany’s entry into the running (27-14).
The “Nati” even had the match point, stopped by Blues goalkeeper Samir Bellahcene on the siren. Despite this draw, Nikola Karabatic’s band should see the main round, barring a heavy defeat against Germany in the final meeting of their group A on Tuesday (8:30 p.m.).
