KIELCE on an easy road to Cologne

 Kielce – Montpellier


18 May 2022

I missed Veszprem defeat to Aalborg but they are still off to Germany having received the Lisbon and the Budapest declinatures having forgotten to add one key piece of info. 

Experience my friend. Get over ! This game should not be a torture affair. Where is the museum located by the way?

Moryto intercepts and scores into the empty net after 40s

Sego saves the counter seconds later

Due to Talant and USAM I want Kielce to go through

The yellow submarine of handball.

Not a fan of Marin & Co, not great ref

Why a damaged shirt should be replaced? No bound reinstatement

3-3 after 4’45

Talant using Nahi in a Jackson role. Interesting one.

Sego has already got 3 saves but Kielce leads 5-4 after 9 mins played

Strategic move pays off with Dylan’s speed 6-4 10’

Wolff saves from Hugo’s penalty to the raucous cheers.

Espantosos applausos

Tournat shouts with delirium as he cleverly swings the ball to the opposite post 7-4 12’20

 Superb Simonet Schwenker 7-5 12’50

Nahi jump is so close to keepers every single time.

Talant putting pressure on his Spanish mates

Bos scores a lovely wing goal I must admit 8-6 15’30

Great Wolff double save on a nice attacking display by Montpellier

Dylan Nahi doing what footballers do. Not a fan at all. He needs not doing THIS. And the refs were right to tell him off abut they should not give the 2 mins to Bos

Lucky escape for Montpellier on a ball awkwardly dropped.

10-6 just before the 20 mins mark

Hugo heads it towards above head and it worked 10-7 21’40

Superb block and number 11 surprising Sego

Deftly Hugo Descat reduces the arrears 11-8 23’

Powerful line play by Karalek and back to +4 12-8 24’

And he does it again superbly 13-8 26’30

The clock should be stopped.

Hugo miss and Andy upsets him and this is cool for Vive

Meantime Karalek does what he does best. Powerfully scoring.

14-8 28’30

THE KARALEK show continues 15-8 with 15 seconds left.

Alex tried to surprise Sego but no number 16 at the break.

Bonnefoi on.

Tactical time with players rested.

3’30 in the second half and no goals as of yet

Bos on the counter gets number 9 for Montpellier 33’45

Easy for AD and 16-9. Just as easy for Simonet making it 16-10 seconds later

Bataille surprises Andy and its now a 3-1 to the French team

Bizarre penalty and justice that Andy saved it

This time it should be a penalty and they give a 7-meter

Mental!

Simonet chose the hardest route and Andy anticipated

Nahi on the counter seconds later. Back to the cushion 19-11 40’

Andy has 11 saves on 40 minutes.

No one is sitting in the Vive Tauron arena.

Andy has also the wingers in his pocket.

Bataille does surprise Andy with an astute long range shot and it is 21-13 43’30

15 mins left and Montpellier scored only 13 goals.

Andy had saved the penalty but was too slow to track back so sadly number 14.

Prophet of doom, Cassandra with Pellas scoring? 23-16 48’

Oh what a basic error by Bataille so it is not 4-0 to Montpellier. Relief.

Bos is having a positive impact, sadly 24-17 51’

Montpellier is now winning the second half. Terrible.

A great counter and 26-18 52’50

Young Polisk keeper behind the posts.

Impressive save by Bonnefoi 26-19 54’20

Simonet powerful makes it a respectable 26-20 as we approach the last 5 mins

Missed penalty by Bos, which enables Kielce to stem the tide

Karalek back in business but still a 7-goal game 28-21 57’

Talant is much more composed than years ago as a coach

Beautiful number 30 with just over 1 min left

Panic change of direction makes it 30-22.

They do not aim for number 31. Kielce winning by 1 the 2nd half. And by 11 the tie.

Extreme joy for the final four journey initiated by Nahi.

But other players are much more respectful in their joyful expression

68% vs 43% scoring rate. Telling stat.

30-22 final score !
