Toulouse crushed Narbonne and secured a spot in the SpikeLigue playoffs

The Toulouse team achieved its main goal for the season after a dominant 3-0 (25:20, 25:17, 25:15) victory against Narbonne at the Palais des Sports on Saturday night. With this success, Spacer's secured a place in the top eight of the standings and a second consecutive appearance in the French championship playoffs.

At the core of the triumph was the steady performance of Bulgarian international Iliya Petkov, who finished with 9 points and an impressive 82% attack efficiency.The top scorer for the hosts was Natal Ferre with 17 points, while Noah Duflo also contributed significantly to the success.

This is Toulouse's sixth consecutive home victory, having previously defeated leading league teams such as Chaumont (3-2) and Montpellier (3-1). Additionally, alongside this success, leader Chaumont defeated Paris, further solidifying Spacer's position in the top 8.
