The districts of Vitaliy Stepanovsky did not prevent the invasion of one of the leaders and favorites of the tournament.
There was not enough strength for the second sensation. The Ukrainian national team was heavily defeated by the Spanish team in the EuroBasket U20. It will be recalled that yesterday, July 17, the “blue-yellows” somewhat unexpectedly defeated the Lithuanian team in the group 71:69.
Perhaps this victory took too much strength away from Vitaliy Stepanovsky’s wards, as they couldn’t fight the Pyrenees on equal terms in any of the quarters.
The only time the Ukrainians got ahead was after the first shot in the fight, which turned out to be a three-pointer. After that, the Spanish team took the overall advantage, resulting in the final defeat of the Ukrainians with a score of 89:58.
