Brest offered itself a prestigious draw, Saturday February 17 in the Champions League, in the hall of the Hungarian giant Györ (32-32), to extend its incredible series to 17 matches without defeat, in all competitions.

While they were up to four goals behind in the second period, coach Pablo Morel's players returned to contact, and Pauletta Foppa scored the tie goal 12 seconds from the buzzer, on the counter after an interception on the Hungarians' last possession.

The Bretons were not in danger before this move. They were not only already qualified for the quarter-final play-offs, but also guaranteed to receive the return match, thanks to their fourth place in the group, which they could no longer lose.

A match rich in goals

The match started at a crazy pace, the 30 point mark being exceeded even before the 20th minute. Then the defenses gradually took hold, and the two teams reached the break tied (18-18).

The Brestoises then let their opponents slip away a little, before their incredible comeback, which demonstrates that this season they can hold their own against the team considered to be the best in the moment in Europe.
