Techfind Selargius’s journey in the Serie A2 Women’s playoffs begins with a defeat. Ala PalaMaggetti, in Game 1 of the quarter-finals, the yellow and blacks lost 79-65 against the Panthers after a match played with heads held high.
For the Abruzzo team, the decisions were made by the prowess of Obouh Fegue, an absolute factor under the scoreboards, and the offensive leadership of Miccio. For the yellow and black, however, the 23 personal goals of an indomitable El Habbab were not enough. On Thursday (6pm) at the PalaVienna San Salvatore will try to give themselves a victory to bring the series back to Abruzzo and play for the “beautiful” one.
THE GAME – After the first skirmishes, Roseto tries to extend the lead to +8 (20-12) thanks to a burst from Obouh Fegue. However, with a couple of baskets from El Habbab and a triple from Mura, the yellow and blacks are back in contact already in the 10th minute (24-22). Similar plot in the second period: after a point-to-point phase, Amadasi’s quintet puts their heads ahead (32-31), but in the final quarter they suffer a mini break that puts Roseto back in command (42-35).
Upon returning to the field, the Selargines are decisive: first a three-point play by El Habbab, then a bomb by Mura, are worth the counter-overtaking (51-48). The response of the hosts is decisive: Obouh Fegue promptly turns the inertia in favor of his, assisted by the young Resemini. Techfind misses a series of comfortable layups, while on the other side the Panthers don’t forgive, and with Miccio’s triple they dig the gap at +15, giving themselves a downhill final quarter.
THE STATEMENTS – “It was a high intensity match – comments coach Amadasi – we played together and cohesively for a good part of the match. The girls were good, we got lost in some details that we hope to fix in view of game 2” .
