Brest, leader of the Women’s Handball League, fell at home on Wednesday in a late match on the 23rd day, against its runner-up Metz (24-19), who can more than ever believe in the title of French champion.
The Brestoises lost for the first time this season in the league. This first misstep could cost them the conquest of their third title if the Messines, double reigning champions and who have a game in hand, win in their last four meetings.
