In an incredibly dramatic confrontation BC Rivne snatched victory by a minimal margin over Old Lutsk in the second match of the quarterfinal series FAVBET Super Leagues — 91:90.
Let us remind you that the Rivne team won the first meeting on their site with a comfortable advantage. But here history was being written anew, and there was no clear favorite on the floor.

The denouement came in the last seconds. Old Lutsk took the lead thanks to a long-range throw by Alexander Kolchenko, but the fate of the match was subsequently decided by the free throws of the MVP of the match, defender Elijah Joyner.
Rovno became the third semi-finalist of the season after Cherkasy Mavp and Dnepr. The last participant in the Final Four will be determined in the confrontation between Kyiv-Basket and Prykarpattya-Hoverla.
