Dnipro lost to the champion on their home court, but retained their leadership in the championship
In one of the key matches of the entire regular season FAVBET Super Leagues championship leader Dnieper conceded on his site Budivelnik – 74:80.
The fight, which took place in the Dnieper Sports Complex “Shinnik”, gave an unpredictable plot and championship intrigue.
Vladimir Koval’s team spent the first quarter confidently, winning it by 8 points. Subsequently, the capital’s giants managed to improve, and by the big break the hosts’ minimal advantage was recorded.
The third quarter was decisive. Budivelnik won with a discouraging score of 23:6. To the credit of the hosts, they returned to the game, during the fourth period of the game they reduced the lead to 5-6 points, but were not honored with more.
The result is Dnepr’s first defeat this season, ending the championship leader’s nine-game winning streak. At the same time, Koval’s team retained first place due to a better percentage of victories – 90% versus 73% for Budivelnik, who was in second.
