Nantes found the way to victory in the French handball championship by winning late Sunday afternoon against Dunkirk 43 to 27, on behalf of the 23rd day of the Starligue.
Alberto Entrerrios' players remained on a miraculous draw in Toulouse (29-29) and a last-minute defeat in Nîmes (33-32), struggling to digest their feat in the Champions League and a qualification for the quarter-finals after a success in Poland against Kielce.
On Sunday, the "H" outclassed Dunkirk at home, with a new very large part achieved by Aymeric Minne, author of 10 goals as a center-half, while the Portuguese left-back Alexandre Cavalcanti also distinguished himself ( 6 goals), just like Spanish left winger Valero Rivera (9 goals, including 3 penalties).
With this success, the Nantais come back to seven points from Montpellier (29 against 36) with one game less on the clock (20 against 21), and will have the opportunity to return to five points of the MHB in case of success on Wednesday in Saint- Raphael.
After this trip to the Var, the Nantes people will travel to Paris to face the leader of the Starligue, PSG, author of a perfect run so far in the Starligue, with 21 victories in as many games.
