USAM - Creteil and Pelister, two important victories

 

NIMES – PELISTER

EHF EUROPEAN LEAGUE

15 Feb 2022

Has Francoise gone to my seat?

Slovak refs

After 2 mins Sanad equalised after the Macedonian team led through a well drilled line play

On the stroke of luck Sanad gets the ball from Remi 2-1 3’10

Remi cannot do anything when no defence

Sanad scores his third 3-2 4’

Slovak refs not stopping the clock

Mandalinic scores the 7-meter 3-3 5’30

Sanad missed the 7-meter well saved by the keeper who did his video review

Taboada scores a beautiful one 3-4 7’30

Well saved by remi after a passive play not given and the travelling not given and the ball recovered by Pelister

Sanad reacted well 4-4 9’45

Velkovski finds the interval after a Taboada release 4-5 10’

Turnover as missed pass by USAM

A time out would be a good idea

Good line play and trailing by 2 4-6 12’

Quentin Minel nice jump 5-6 12’45

Gradan is getting the right mobility 5-7 13’25

Twice the same foul and double suspension to Pelister

We must use it

Well done Sanad despite Tabaoda

Rebichon clever steal and empty net goal 8-7 16’

Tobie 2-min as compensation

Tabaoda goal to the opposite post. Classy goal 8-8 17’

Another missed pass.

Interesting decision but probably right with the offensive foul

Mika snappy goal 9-8 19’

Young ladies next to my seat

9-9 21’

We do miss Jacobsen

Too much of a lateral play

AVB look alike keeper is very alert

Another missed opportunity

A very low scoring affair so far.

Finally, they see them with passive play but Taboada defeats

And finally, timeout 9-10 with just over 5 mins left

He had scored and there was a clear foul and no sanction. One of those.

Mika on the 7-meter 10-10 25’30

Lucky Pelister and then a great Mandalinic goal 10-11 26’20

The refs are getting petty.

12-11 28’45

Thank God it went in. Well done JJA

Toying with passive play and they equalised

But 5 seconds before time wing goal by USAM 13-12 at the break

Neither Gallego nor Japanese player on so far.

Stephane Stoecklin our hero went to Japan

A lot of travelling and nothing said but easy on the 2 mins.

Fine line play goal by Gradan benefiting from the numerical advantage 13-13 31’20

Nyauteu picked up no angle !

Gradan continues his Jacobsen impression 13-14 32’30

Good goal by Nyauteu 14-14 33’20

Kosteski quicker to react

Better defence

Good save by Remi

So petty again. But they are not so petty with ball rolling and travelling

35 mins gone and USAM trailing by one

And a counter attack now and trailing by two

Julien as second line. That is not the strategy

Stop the clock for god’s sake

15-16 38’10

How long for passive play?

Taboada should get two two mins for arguing

Mika missed the 7-meter

Quick Remi to Mo and 16-16 40’30

Superb steal and good pass by Rebi to Mo 17-16 42’

Well done Mo without being too close to the line 18-16

Beautiful lofted goal by Pelister 18-17 And I am not MAD

Well done JJA in defence to avoid Taboada counter

Magnificent JJA goal with his jump 19-17 45’

Great save by Remi reading the Gradan choice

Let take the opportunity and we missed.  Instead Kukovski scores having travelled 19-18 46’45

Goal should stand. Why a 7-meter? And this time clock stopped

Mo’s ninth goal

Remi getting in the winger’s face

Save by Pelister keeper and another missed opportunity

7-6 strategy by Macedonian outfit

Why turnover? And instead, its 20-19 by Mandalinic

JJA to the rescue

Ouch huge jump and 21-20 53’

JJA’s goal was accepted. Thank you.

I am eating too quickly out of nervous energy

23-21 54’50

No he wasn’t on the line. Rubbish refs. Being as neutral as possible, that was a terrible call.

Critical decision. I hope we do not draw or lose because of THAT decision.

23-22 annoying 57’

Mika borderline but important one 24-22 57’35

Just before that it should be passive play and nothing flagged. Mental.

Empty goal by Mo thanks to a lucky turnover.  25-22 58’50

Remi saves beautifully.

We conceded an empty goal as the game drew to a close.

And final score 25-23

69% efficiency vs 55%

PAUC playing tonight as well away in Croatia. Perhaps Mr Anti decided to enrol a weakened team in order to be fresh in Nimes at the weekend. A game on BEIN I cannot see.

We like Aix but we have a huge revenge as the defeat last time around was painful.

So many tempting games to watch tonight. Its mental.
