Enfin an atmosphere worthy of these play-offs. At the start, the room is on fire, the players demand unconditional support of the public and it works. So much so that the first set is all to the advantage of Illacais. The gap is soon to swell. The reception is at the top as well at the service and Var attacks. Bonnefoy and her partners fight on all balloons like hungry lions. The stake of this semi-final is so crucial that nothing is left to chance. For the moment, Fréjus is reduced to living from expedients. The score is unequivocal, 14-11, then 18-13, 20-15 to conclude at 25-18.
It remains to confirm this momentum in a second set always complicated to negotiate. However, the Gironde formation attacks the recovery the jar to the teeth. Under the leadership of his captain, there is no shortage of the windfall to take over the scoring at its advantage 10-7, then 14-10. But the light will go out when Fréjus reacts under the effect of their Dane, Kjaer. It allows its team to equalize at 17-17. The locals then want to save the fatherland. Everyone wants to play the Messiah. In vain. Fréjus flies 17-21. A dead time to calm the spirits and the Illacais resume colors and manage to equalize (23-23). Sol, the Var central, plays its partition without false note and its team wins this set (25-23). What give headaches to the Girondins.
Fréjus is now confident. Its reception is much better, its attacks are more sharp. Marty, the pointed, delights and Kjaer makes his show. The men of Romain Sellier are almost agony. The planchot panics 4-7, then 4-11. Seven points behind, a chasm. No question of letting go. Guérin and Tessier limit the damage (8-12, 14-16). Alleix returns and puts his team back in the race (16-17). And Guérin equalizes (17-17) in a molten hive. Even better when Tessier gives his family for the first time (19-18). Equalizations follow one another. There will be no less than 13 before the incredible outcome favorable to the premises (30-28). Standing ovation guaranteed.
Kjaer in executioner
4e Will Manche smile at Illacais in order to have a precious success and thus treat herself a support match on Monday in the Var? The start is promising (5-3 then 9-6). This is without counting on the determination of visitors determined to settle the case. They equalize 10-10 and take over the operations (18-21) thanks to the precision of their pointed before concluding (22-25).
-We bicker on the video challenges. Nobody wants to return weapons
The tie-break is necessary to designate the winner of this fierce fight. Tessier and Guérin set the tone. Illac takes the advantage (8-4). But the path is still long, especially as the tone rises on the ground. We bicker on the video challenges. Nobody wants to make arms. The proof, Fréjus still finds the resources to reassemble his handicap with the support of a transcendent marty (9-9). The latter will still be decisive on the final points and Kjaer will be the executioner by scoring the 15the point.
