Big win for France!

In the derby of the group E, France celebrated at the end with 24:28 against Norway.

Despite all the forecasts and after two much worse games against Serbia, France managed to get back on track.

After a very tight first half, France managed to break away thanks to the masterful defenses of Wesley Pardin. Wesley had a dream debut, the Norwegians simply did not have a solution for his defenses.

The most efficient in the ranks of Norway was Sander Sagosen with 10 goals, while in France the most efficient was Kentin Mahe with 9 goals.

Guillaume Gille's joker, Wesley Pardin is the man of the match!

Personally, the evening is perfect, for a first match of the world championship. It was a surprise to start the game, I knew it just before the warm-up, my name was written on the board and I thought it was a mistake. But suddenly I pressed the start button and tried to respond with my qualities. It went well, I want to thank the team for their support to get into the game well - said Wesley Pardin
