Montpellier Vs PSG Handball Semi-Final Highlights | Coupe de France 2026
The Giant Falls: Montpellier Stuns PSG to Reach 2026 Coupe de France Final In a match that will be remembered as a tactical masterclass, Montpellier Handball delivered a stunning blow to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), securing a 39-35 victory in the Coupe de France semi-finals. The FDI Stadium witnessed a "Remontada" that shifted the balance of power in French handball, ending PSG’s domestic cup dreams for the 2026 season. Match Summary: A Tale of Two Halves The game began with high-octane intensity. For the first 30 minutes, PSG looked like the favorites. Led by the towering presence of Kamil Syprzak, the Parisians exploited gaps in Montpellier's central defense to take a narrow 19-18 lead into the locker room. However, the second half told a different story. Montpellier’s head coach adjusted the defensive scheme to a more aggressive 5-1 formation, which completely disrupted PSG’s rhythm. The definitive moment came between the 42nd and 50th minute, where Montpellier executed a ruthless 5-0 scoring run. Fueled by PSG turnovers and clinical finishing from the wings, the hosts turned a deficit into a commanding lead they would never relinquish. Player Statistics & Efficiency Ratings The individual performances were the deciding factor. David Balaguer put on a shooting clinic, while Valentin Porte acted as the ultimate floor general. Player Team Goals Assists Efficiency (%) David Balaguer Montpellier 13 2 100% (9/9 Penalties) Valentin Porte Montpellier 5 10 83% Kamil Syprzak PSG 10 1 91% Ferran Solé PSG 7 3 78% Elohim Prandi PSG 4 6 60% Goalkeeping Battle Charles Bolzinger (Montpellier): 11 Saves (31% Save Rate). His three consecutive saves during the 5-0 run were the catalyst for the victory. Jannick Green (PSG): 12 Saves (29% Save Rate). Despite a strong first half, he struggled to stop Balaguer’s precision from the 7-meter line. Tactical Analysis: Why PSG Collapsed Technical Faults: PSG committed 14 turnovers in the second half alone. Under pressure from Montpellier’s active hands, the Parisian backcourt lost their composure. The Balaguer Factor: Montpellier successfully isolated David Balaguer against PSG’s slower defenders, allowing him to maintain a perfect shooting record. Bench Depth: Montpellier’s rotations kept their intensity high, whereas PSG’s starters appeared fatigued by the 50-minute mark, leading to defensive lapses. The Road Ahead Montpellier now moves on to the Grand Final on May 24, 2026, where they will face HBC Nantes. For PSG, this loss marks a significant setback, forcing them to shift their entire focus toward the Liqui Moly StarLigue title race. #handballworld #handball #sports

UH at UC Davis: UH Wins 77-73! Played Very Composed! Snaps 6-Game Road Skid Against Davis!
My recap of UH at UC Davis: https://mathew21688.wixsite.com/my-site/post/uh-at-uc-davis-2-27-26 More droughts were relieved! The University of Hawaiʻi Men’s Basketball team pulled off a gritty victory over the UC Davis Aggies at the University Credit Union Center, 77-73, on Thursday! It was UH's first road win over UC Davis since 2021 and UH's first season sweep over Davis since 2020! UH improves to 12-5 in Big West play, and coupled with a UC Irvine win at CSUN at the buzzer, UH is now tied for first place in the Big West standings. Isaac Johnson rebounded from a tough Saturday night against UC Santa Barbara to lead UH with 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting! Hunter Erickson came up big with 15 of his own on 5-of-8 shooting; both Erickson and Johnson were 3-of-5 from 3-point range! Isaac Finlinson poured in 13, Harry Rouhliadeff chipped in 11, and Gytis Nemeikša added 10 off the bench. Marcus Wilson led the Aggies and all players with 25 points on 9-of-17 shooting! Carl Daughtery Jr. had 11 in the loss, as did UC Davis' lead scorer Connor Sevilla. Niko Rocak had 10 points himself with eight of them coming at the free throw line. Daughtery drew first blood with a triple which led to an early 5-0 lead for Davis! Davis then fell victim to a 7-2 UH run, and the score was tied at 7-7! Nemeikša buried a corner triple after a jumper from UC Davis' Sevilla to put UH back in front, 10-9. Both UH and UCD stayed close to each other, but UH was the first to turn the tides in their favor! Back-to-back Erickson triples generated an 8-0 UH run to put UH back in front for good, 29-20! It was punctuated on a Finlinson layup off an Omer Suljanovic turnover. Davis cut the gap down to four off another Daughtery triple with 4:07 remaining, but UH remained composed! The 'Bows ended the first half on a 12-4 run that was punctuated by a Dre Bullock layup off a Davis turnover. At halftime, UH led, 43-31 with UH's Johnson leading all scorers with 14! In the second half, UH continued to carry their momentum from that 12-4 run. Rouhliadeff began the second half with a triple on UH's first possession! Davis did not back off and made multiple pushes on UH! With 16 minutes to go, Davis uncorked a 9-0 run with three consecutive triples from Isaiah Chappell, Daughtery, and Suljanovic! It cut what was a 13-point UH gap down to just four! UH did not get flustered and scored the next four to put their gap back up to eight, 56-48, off an Erickson jumper. Every time Davis appeared to have some momentum, UH found a way to maintain control. UH was able to extend its lead back to 10, 72-62, with 3:30 remaining off a Nemeikša layup. That Nemeikša layup was UH's final field goal of the game. With 1:40 to go, and UH leading 73-68, things got iffy when Nemeikša was issued a technical foul off a contact deadball, but Davis' Rocak was also issued a technical foul for the same reason. The free throws canceled each other out, and UH kept its 5-point lead. UH's final four points came at the free throw line with both Johnson and Finlinson burying two critical free throws each off of two UC Davis fouls. It was now 77-73, UH! Needing a miracle, Davis' Wilson went for a layup with four seconds left, but Nemeikša delivered what was the game-sealing block for UH! It was UH's sixth block of the contest to Davis' one! After nine turnovers for UH in the first half, they cleaned it up considerably and committed just four with just one coming in the first 12 minutes. They would win the turnover battle, 13-17! UH improves to 20-7 overall and will conclude their final road trip before the Big West Tournament with the Cal State Fullerton Titans at Titan Gym on Saturday, Feb. 28.

Ange: Spurs Fallout, Forest Job Regrets & Celtic Success | Stick to Football 117
Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE. After last week’s blockbuster episode, Ange Postecoglou returns to join Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright for a deeper look at his life in and out of football. Ange reflects on his upbringing in Australia after his family moved from Greece, how that shaped him, and where his love for the game truly began. The conversation then turns to his coaching journey, from developing his bold tactical identity at Tottenham to his short spell at Nottingham Forest. Does he regret taking the job at the City Ground, and would he make the same decision again? We also revisit his time at Spurs, including winning the Europa League against Manchester United, managing top players like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, and how he views both the highs and the setbacks. Celtic, VAR and what comes next in his career are all up for discussion, as well as his view that the Manchester United job is “the hardest in football”.
