After the break, the dynamic remained the same, with a fiery Parisian attack firing and an imperious Green making the 1,000th save of his Paris Saint-Germain career. Prandi's ninth goal further increased the lead (39': 27-15), and Limoges suddenly looked out of their depth. The Parisians, looking relaxed, were formidable. Kamil Syprzak, gradually regaining form following his return from injury, scored his third goal of the match, and the celebrations at Coubertin were complete (50': 34-22).
Les Rouge et Bleu were clearly in no mood to be trifled with, turning in their best performance of the season - against a top-of-the-table opponent what's more.
