EHF European League
AEK remain thorn in Nimes' side
AEK started at full throttle in Athens against the leader of Group D with a 12-6 run at 15’ with Plaza Jimenez on fire. However, the French side still managed to reach the break winning by one (15-16).
In the second half the trend of the first 30 minutes was maintained. The Greek team started better, took the lead and this time didn't let go, conquering two important points in their European journey anchored by the Brazilian Toniazzo Lemos.
We had a lot of injuries, before we come here, but we showed a really good team appearance. It was a good game. We are all happy for winning the first place in the Group.
USAM Nimes is not incidentally in first place. If someone told me we would have 4 points with two victories against Nimes, I wouldn't believe him. Nimes had some players missing because of injury and we made good use of that.
