MHB players had no room for error. Victory was mandatory to qualify for the group stage of the European league. It’s done ! They faced tonight in the return match the Swedes of Sävehof. Our Montpellier residents won 30-26.
Qualification for the group stage of the European League
If it was the Sävhof players who opened the scoring in the second minute, neither of the two teams managed to stand out during the first minutes of the match. It took the first timeout in the 18th minute to see Montpellier take the lead and seriously widen the gap. At halftime the MHB led 16 to 8, carried in particular by Hugo Descat at the origin of 7 goals scored.
No bad surprise when you return from the locker room. Despite several attempts to come back to the score of the Swedes, the MHB was able to keep the advantage until the final whistle.
Montpellier qualifies with this victory for the group stage of the European League which will start from October 25.
