Surne Bilbao Basket will play its second straight FIBA European Cup final, the third in its history, after beating the Hungarian Falco Vulcano Szombathely in the return match played in Miribilla (95-88).

After a rather cold start of the game (0-4), Ponsarnau's team has grown and the billiards have started sending strong both in the game and on the scoreboard (23-17).

In the second quarter the Hungarian team did not give up and continued to work on reducing the income of the billiards. However, the Biscayan team continued to press the accelerator when necessary and was always ahead of the scoreboard (48-37).

At times, it didn't seem like a European semifinal, because the atmosphere was cold in the stands thanks to the rent and control of the match in Hungary. Pantzar has set the pace in the minutes he's been on the court and has been one of the top scorers of the game in the first half, with 8 points in the first two quarters, along with Krampelj 9.

After the break, the men in black got off to a good start, but in the middle of the third quarter they fell a little asleep and the Hungarian team took over, matching the match with 58.

Ponsarnau, angry, has had to stop the match with a hollow, which he has taken advantage of to warn and encourage the players. The strategy of the Catalan coach has yielded results, as the billiards have then scored a 6-0 partial to Szombathely.

But the Hungarians, too, have recovered after their coach asked for another break and were about to go ahead on the scoreboard in the last quarter (69-67).

Inthe last quarter, with Pantzar and Hlinason back on the court, Surne Bilbao has set the pace for the match again. When both players were replaced, Surne had a 10-point lead on the scoreboard, which closed the playoff but not the match. Szombathely's quintet has tried to win the match until the last moment, but the men in black have prevented it (95-88).
