After three games without winning in LIDL Starligue, USAM Nimes entered “on the right foot” in the EHF European League, defeating Tatran Presov in Slovakia (22:28).

A great game by the goalkeeper Remi Desbonnet and a very inspired exhibition of Vid Kavticnik (seven goals in eight shots) are largely the origin of Nimes’s first triumph in Group B.

GROUP B

Tatran Presov (SVK) vs USAM Nimes (FRA) 22:28 (10:14)

• USAM Nimes achieved a very important away win
• Remi Desbonnet collected thirteen saves during the game
• Vid Kavticnik was the best scorer of the match and scored seven goals for Nimes
• This is the first defeat of the season for Tatran Presov

After such a balanced start (5-5 on 13 minutes) there was nothing to predict that USAM Nimes would clear away in the first half, reaching the half-time to win by four. The second part didn’t escape the rule and the French team grabbed the victory (22:28).
