Montpellier Down PSG to Reach French Cup Final
Montpellier are back in the French Cup final after beating PSG 39:35 in a high-level semi-final at the FDI Stadium.
The reigning champions overturned a one-goal halftime deficit (18:19) with a much stronger second half, led by Rémi Desbonnet’s excellent goalkeeping display and David Balaguer’s efficiency from the line. PSG stayed in front for much of the opening period, thanks to Jannick Green’s saves and Kamil Syprzak’s strong finishing, but could not keep the same level after the break.
Porte was TOP scorer in the winning team with five goals.
Montpellier took control in the closing stages, opened up a four-goal gap in the final five minutes, and sealed a deserved win to book a final against Nantes next May, where they will try to defend the trophy.

Interesting to see Montpellier pull off that win. Was there a standout player that made a difference in the match?
