Surne Bilbao has put her ranking on track for the final after defeating Szombathely 81-98 in Hungary
After a rather poor start, the men in black have straightened the course and dominated the last three quarters. The Ponsarnau have scored 17 points for the return match in Miribilla.
The Surne Bilbao Basket has won 81-98 to the Falco Vulcano Szombathely the one-way match of the FIBA Europe Cup semi-finals played in Hungary, so the team led by Jaume Ponsarnau has set foot in the final, unless there is a disaster in next week's match in Miribilla.
Lookingat the first quarter , it can be considered a miracle that the Surne Bilbao ended up on the scoreboard. The Hungarian team has shown why it is in the semi-finals and the C has come to have an 8-point lead on the scoreboard.
The start of the second quarter of the men in black has been better than the match and the match has changed considerably. With a much sharper defense, the billiards have taken a step forward in the second quarter. In addition, Surn has often punctured the opponent's hoop from the line of three (12/17 in the first half) and has increased his advantage before the break (44-56).
On the way back from the locker room, Ponsarnau's men controlled the game without too much trouble and put the biggest difference on the scoreboard in the middle of the third quarter (+22), forcing Szombathely's coach to ask for an urgent vacuum. However, the dynamics of the match have not changed and the men in black have left the Hungarians' attempt to react to nothing (60-78).
In the last quarter of the match, the start of the Surne Bilbao was not at all good, the lack of intensity both in attack and in defence, the Bilbaine team failed to make decisions. Six minutes before the end, Ponsarnau had to ask for a gap because the Hungarians were cutting distances (+10).
