A delayed start of the match of about 30 minutes for the additional cleaning of the Follonica rink. But the show was not long in starting on the track because Valongo immediately went ahead on a penalty shot by Moreira Bessa. The Portuguese enter the rink better and put the Italians in serious difficulty, who struggle to create play in attack. A couple of decisive interventions by Xano Edo on the Italian attacks, but it is still Valongo to achieve with Abreu, a nice shot from the middle distance for the 2-0 of the interval. Pinto reduces the passive after 10 minutes on a great pressure of the Trissino. Zampoli parries a shot directed at Navarro and Xano that of Cocco that maintains the advantage for the Portuguese.
Bosch, coach Valongo: “A great game of sacrifice for these guys who gave everything and won a great game. The journey had begun very bad but this victory repays everything we did in the Euroleague final.”
Bertolucci, coach Trissino: “It was a great final. Valongo played a great game in all departments. Now we have to reset for Wednesday’s game.”
