Kahn secured a narrow three-goal victory over US Créteil in their club friendly on Monday evening, the final score reading 33-31. The hosts had been in solid form, winning four of their last five encounters before this one.
Créteil came into the fixture looking to build on their recent wins against Angers and Massy Essonne, though they had also suffered defeats to both those sides. Their record against Kahn over the summer had not been kind — two losses in May, 31-30 and 37-25.
By then, Kahn had already shown they could put up runs. Their 41-36 victory over Cesson-Rennes on 12 August demonstrated their attacking potential, while the 29-30 loss to Dunkerque just six days later suggested they were not yet at full rhythm.
The result keeps Kahn on a positive trajectory ahead of the new campaign. Créteil, meanwhile, face a rebuilding phase after a mixed end to last season, with two wins and three losses across their last five outings.
