After only average performance in victory over Norway 27:26, Claude Onesta and his “Experts” made unpleasant surprise to their fans against Qatar 25:28 (13:9) in the second match at Golden League. French fans could see the 30 minutes of old France, but in the finish of the match, the Olympic, World and European champions were in the shadow of their “old” rivals from the last WCh 2015 Final in Doha.
