Paris liberated.
Paris delivered.
Led at the break, PSG irresistibly broke away in the last quarter of an hour against Ivry to win, Saturday night, 34 to 25 in this duel in Ile-de-France and sign their 17th victory in as many Starligue matches, so that Nantes won a crucial match against Nîmes (31-27) on Saturday.
The Parisians, six-fold reigning French champions, continue to dominate the French Championship with 34 points on the clock, the maximum possible.
They regain six points ahead of their first pursuer, Montpellier (28), who however played one game less than PSG.
Hansen's effectiveness
Hanging during three quarters of the match, the Parisian handball players have therefore reached the rest with a handicap of two goals.
They had to wait until the 41st minute and a penalty from Mikkel Hansen to regain control.
They did not give up then, thanks in particular to the efficiency of Nedim Remili (5 goals) and Dainis Kristopans (6 goals).
The last fifteen minutes of the meeting thus allowed PSG to irremediably distance from valiant Ivryans (14th in the standings).
