Limoges beat CAN 23:38 in the Starligue on Thursday evening. The visitors held their nerve to take all three points on the road.
Both sides arrived on identical records — three games, two wins, one draw, four points each. CAN sat eighth while Limoges led the table.
The away end never stopped. Limoges moved ahead and never looked back, running out comfortable winners.
Can looked tired by then. They had won two of their last three but this time gave up too many cheap fouls and could not find a way back into it.
Limoges were not far from their best. They had won 28:30 against Saran Loiret on their last outing and showed similar composure here.
The result leaves CAN still eighth on four points. Limoges extend their lead at the top.
