The Cossacks suffered a second defeat in a row and risk losing their place in the top 3
Dnieper defeated BC Zaporozhye in a home bubble match Superleague FAVBET-2023/24 – 80:71.
Only at the start of the match the guests took the lead, but the championship leader quickly took the game into his own hands.
Dnepr led the score almost the entire game. The turning point could have come in the middle of the third quarter, when a breakthrough by Valery Plekhanov’s team allowed them to equalize the score (44:44). But then the Dnipro team stepped it up and kept the opponent at a comfortable distance until the end of the meeting.
The victory was the 19th in 19 matches of the season for Vladimir Koval’s team. Zaporozhye, in turn, suffered a second defeat in a row and not only did not get closer to the second-placed BC Rivne, but it is already seriously risking its third place.
Dnepr will play its next match tomorrow, February 2, against the outsider Krivbass, which the day before won only its second victory in the regular season, and just over Zaporozhye.
