31.03.2021, 10:40 PLAY-OFF REVIEW: Thanks to a strong second half, Kielce overturned Nantes' half-time advantage to emerge victorious in MOTW |
||
The Match of the Week clash between HBC Nantes and Lomza Vive Kielce promised to be an emotional game for the French line player Nicolas Tournat. The 26-year-old changed sides last summer, moving from France to Poland, and Wednesday night's EHF Champions League Men play-off match was his first opportunity to play against his former teammates. While Tournat contributed to Kielce's cause, scoring thee goals, Alex Dujshebaev and Andreas Wolff ultimately starred as the Polish side claimed a narrow one-goal win, 25:24, in France.

Andreas Wolff – winner of the goalkeeping contest At half-time, Nantes were ahead by two and Emil Nielsen had already made nine saves. However, by the end of the game, Kielce had turned things around, largely thanks to Andreas Wolff. Wolff's total of 10 saves might seem deceptive compared with Nielsen’s 14, but the German goalkeeper stopped two penalties in the last 15 minutes for the Polish side. TEXT: EHF / Kevin Domas |
