Paris Saint-Germain has won in Nîmes, 31 to 28, and remains alone at the top of the French Handball Championship.
With five wins in five days, the Parisians are two points ahead of Montpellier, Aix and Nantes.
The French champions were stranded by two backs, Norway's Sander Sagosen and Denmark's Mikkel Hansen, but they were able to build on an excellent Nedim Remili (10 goals) and Sweden's Kim Egdahl Du Rietz (6). goals).
The Nîmes had however posed big problems to the PSG in their room of Parnasse these two last seasons, a success in 2017 and a draw in 2018, but they live a beginning of mixed season (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats).
"The base has been defensive, and in the last two years their attack has been allowed to get ahead," commented Remili at BeIN Sports.
At the head of three goals at the break (16-13), the Parisians widened the gap at the return of the locker room (+6) and have always controlled the situation despite a return of the Nimes to two goals ten minutes from the end.
The best Nîmois was the young back Elohim Prandi (9 goals), already recruited by PSG for next season.
