Ovarense loses again to Benfica

Ovarense, after losing the first game of the semi-finals of the Men's Basketball League play-off, by 86-66, was defeated again today by Benfica, this time by 32 points (103-71). Thus, the "encarnados" are just one victory away from qualifying for the championship final, while the Vareira team is now obliged to win three consecutive games against Benfica to be able to achieve the same objective. The Vareiro team, as is their custom, will not “throw in the towel”, but it is obvious that they have an increasingly difficult mission. In addition to being at a disadvantage in the tie, they are playing against the national champion who clearly has more arguments, both individually and collectively.

Individually, Alexander Thompson and Lual Rahama were the most dissatisfied players on the Ovarense side, while Aaron Broussard and Trey Drechsel, with 23 points each, were the best players on the field. The semi-final now moves to Ovar, which will host the third game, at 7 pm next Thursday. If Benfica wins, they will advance to the final.
