22.02.2022, 11:00 GROUP B REVIEW : The Icelandic left-winger netted fifteen times tonight to lead his team to a draw against Nantes |

Prior to this game, the only team to have beaten Nantes in the European League this season: TBV Lemgo. Though the German side did not manage to repeat this performance tonight in front of a home crowd, Lemgo still managed to take a point against last season’s Champions League semi-finalists. The visitors looked on the verge of a win, though, when they were leading by three with less than ten minutes remaining. But Bjarki Mar Elisson decided otherwise, scoring his team’s last six goals to earn them a deserved draw in the end. GROUP B TBV Lemgo Lippe (GER) vs HBC Nantes (FRA) 37:37 (17:20)
What would Lemgo do without Bjarki Mar Elisson ? Last week Elisson made official the fact that he would be joining Veszprem soon, but tonight, he did not seem to be too bothered by the news. Scoring 15, the Iceland left-winger was clearly the player of the match for the German side. While, in the first half, Nantes’ Valero Rivera kept pace with him, in the last ten minutes, Elisson was clearly the best player on the court. And it was almost on his own that he conjured up Lemgo the point for the draw. TEXT: EHF / Kevin Domas |
