Union Sud-Mayenne narrowly lost to Palaiseau in the final

It was a hair’s breadth but there will be no cup at home for Mayenne. Union Sud-Mayenne handball faced Palaiseau this Saturday afternoon in the final of the French regional handball Cup at the Accor Arena in Paris and the Mayenne people bowed after a penalty shootout, 27-27, 4 tab to 2 for the Ile-de-France.

A difficult first half

The men of Alexis Huaulmé and Hervé Blottière fought in the first half and especially suffered by being led 1-3 after 5 minutes of play and even 1-4 after 10 minutes. Too much offensive waste then for Union Sud-Mayenne who still managed to get a small goal difference at half-time (10-11).

A completely crazy second period

Roses manage to equalize early in the second half but they are still running after the score at the end of the half. But everything becomes possible for USM at the end of the game, which is only 2 goals down with only 6 minutes remaining (22-24) and perfect equality between the two teams 2 minutes from the final whistle (25-25 ). Ile-de-France and Mayenne face each other on penalties after snatching the equalizer, 27-27 after 60 minutes elapsed.

The USM goalkeeper achieves the feat to stop an opposing shot but two Roses miss their attempt. Defeat therefore for the Mayenne who will have given everything to win the cup. Palaiseau won after the penalty shootout, 4 tabs to 2.

The reaction

The players and members of the staff were inevitably disappointed but they especially want to remember the incredible season with only one defeat in all competitions, that of this afternoon in Paris.

A match that will remain in the mind of right winger Corentin Gaillard for a long time.
