This is the first defeat of the season for Metz handball. Yesterday in Denmark, the Dragonnes were no match for Esbjerg. Led from end to end, they are clearly inclined 35 to 28 (18-12 at halftime).
As a result, the Messines fall to the 3rd place group, one point behind Györ, whom they beat in Hungary, and Rapid Bucharest, where they drew.
They will have the opportunity to catch up on Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Arena against the Croatians of Zagreb.
