The French continue. After their victory (34-31) on Friday, the tricolor handball players again beat the Germans (30-29), Sunday October 2 in Nancy, as part of their preparation for the Euro, which will be held in a month (from November 3 to 20). Well launched after a controlled first half, the reigning Olympic champions then slowed down before winning in the dying seconds of the match.

Friable in defense on Friday, Olivier Krumbholz’s players were much more aggressive during the first thirty minutes. Effective in front of goal and well led by their captain Estelle Nze Minko, the Habs joined the locker room with a five-goal lead (18-13). But back on the pitch, the Blues showed a completely different face: less compact in defense, overtaken by the twirling Emily Bölk, and without a solution in front of the stunning German goalkeeper Katharina Filter.

Led to the score five minutes from the final whistle, the French women spoke about their experience. Laura Flippes allowed her teammates to regain the lead, before young goalkeeper Floriane André gave victory to France thanks to a decisive last save. An action in the image of the convincing performance of the 22-year-old player. For the continuation of the preparation of the French team, heading west: the Tricolores will face Poland in Rennes on October 28th.
