The first match of the finals of the French League ended with no winner.

In a flood of goals, Noisy-le-Sec and Marseille shared the points – 16:16. So, everything is still open before the return leg, which will be played in Marseille on Saturday.

Noisy didn’t record a win at home, but the Parisians can be satisfied with the outcome. They halted Marseille’s long winning streak. From the start of the domestic season until the playoffs final Marseille, the big favorite for the title, recorded 22 wins in as many games, but it couldn’t continue that series.

Montpellier opened the playoffs for 3rd place with a win.
