Handball: PSG continues to flawlessly

The Parisian handball players continued their flawless lead in the French Championship.

In a ranking marked by many postponements due to the pandemic, Paris (12 matches played), the only team still undefeated, now has seven points ahead of the promoted Limoges (13 matches), eight over Montpellier (10 matches) and Aix (9 matches) winner (31-29) Wednesday of Nantes (5th, 13 pts).

In an empty Bougnol, Patrice Canayer's players took the lead during an ultra-rhythmic first period where defenses and goalkeepers shone through their absence.

PSG had never conceded 19 goals before half-time this season, and he had never returned to the locker room led.

Montpellier paid dearly in the last quarter of an hour for its lack of attention, marked by a double numerical inferiority and ten minutes without scoring a goal.
