A very bad evening for the resumption of the Champions League. The MHB is no longer undefeated at home after this defeat conceded this Wednesday, February 16 against Vardard Skopje 25-28. It is also the end of the series of 7 games without defeat in this competition.
The score could have been more severe. At the start of the second half, Montpellier lost balls (14 in total) and their game, and were trailing by 8 goals. The burst of pride in the last 10 minutes will not have made it possible to come back. It was with closed faces that the players quickly returned to the locker room.
“We revolt at the end of the match, like every time we are behind, we have to do it from the start and throughout the match.” Julien Bos
To make matters worse, the MHB lost two players, the Portuguese rear Gilberto Duarte out groggy, hit in the neck and the Argentinian pivot Lucas Moscariello in the knee. A very bad evening…
The children of the Afghan family repatriated by the city of Montpellier last October on the MHB plane during the trip to Skopje were present in the stands.
– Pascale Victory
